I'll share my experience. I'm not from the area but James was nice enough to include me in the buy.
These things are like fricken lazer beams. I cant believe how bright they are. I had 2 150w mh and 2 96w pc's over the tank before and the difference is like night and day.
I wired up 5 rows of 12, 3 rows white and 2 rows blue. I used the ballasts on the website so have no dimming capabilities. I have just one row of white running and one blue and all of my corals have bleached. I cant believe how bright they are. Ive just started running another string of white for about an hour a day. With all 5 running its insanely bright. I can certainly keep anything under those things once i get everything aclimated. I actually like the the coloration alot.
Havent messed with the optics as they are not easy to get on and really, i dont need to concentrate the light, I got more than enough of it.
I cant believe I'm lighting my tank with about 72w as opposed to the nearly 500 before. I'm never going back...
Thanks again James and good luck to all!
