You can buy from wherever you want.
I don't personally want to pay more when I can get the LEDs and the accessories included. There's one vendor that requires you to pay an extra 45.00$ just for the mounting cable as an extra cost option. :headwalls:

I'll be the guinea pig! :dance:
These look very promising. I'm on vacation this week so I won't be able to post much.
The cost may be a bit high however. They're still working out the price.
Auto Dimmable/Sun rise/Sun set
Auto Dimmable/Sun rise/Sun set
There is a Mode "Custom" which make the light run as Sun rise/ Sun set. You can set Time, and how many Blue/White at this time by this function. For example, 6:00am, 10Blue + 0 White; 7:00am, 20Blue + 10White, some thing like that. Once you set and Save, lights will run as you want.

Yeah I know that that's what controller in my post is refering to.
I have the evergrow D120 already. I've been following and posting in this thread for months. But would like one to be apex controllable in series for my 150 peninsula build I have in the works. I'd rather have one controller vs 4. FWIW. They do look good though..bhazard451

The twilight LEDs aren't as bright as Evergrow's. This is apparent visually, and would probably be more noticeable if measured via a PAR meter. I might buy one in the future with all the LEDs I test. These have wireless control via remote, can link two fixtures to run off one power cord, and seem to be touch buttons like a ps3 or newer Xbox, which is a nice touch.
They're both nice options however, as the twilight will probably be cheaper since it is a bit less advanced. The new PCB board twilight uses fixes the spotting issue I originally had.
If Evergrow can keep the price reasonable, it would be a great option. They should keep the d120 and Nova as the value options, and this new one as a reasonably priced premium. Remember, there will be a Cree version of this too, and they will add more features if we request them.

Very soon. I'll be getting one of the first production ones and testing it, just like I did with the Nova.
This is what mine looks like with the warm, neutral, and cool whites, blues, and violets. I think I nailed it, but I might try adding some reds and seeing if it makes it look even better. The warm whites should provide enough red in theory without needing to do so.

About $330 shipped and if $50 more if you want CREE Bulbs.

Did you mean 3.5K and 6.5K? That's pretty sweet looking. I am thinking of reordering some of the new customizable D120s and I may use your layout. I had also come up with this, but I don't know if my whites are too blue. I like a warmer looking tank (not the uber-windex 20K tank look):
D1 D2 D1 D2 D1 D2 D1 D2 D1 D2 D1
1 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1
2 B2 W4 G W4 B2 W4 B2 W4 G W4 B2
3 B3 V B3 W5 V W5 V W5 B3 V B3
4 B2 W4 G W4 B2 W4 B2 W4 G W4 B2
5 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1 W2 B1
Dimmer 1: B1=460nmx12, B2=450nmx8, B3=440nmx4, V=420nmx2, G=520-570nmx4
Dimmer 2: W2=6500x10, W4=10000k-14000kx10,W5=14000k-20000kx3, V=420nmx2
I didn't opt for red due to the cyano/algae unknown.

Should I order these or would you recommend something else that is better?
They are 36" wide so it will cover the whole top of my tank. I'll be using the horizontal brackets so it won't be that far off from the water.
It is not a lot of money but I would rather spend it wisely. I wish I read more forum thread about skimmers, that way I would have not spent the money on my aqua c remora.

Is this the new evergrow fixture that they're making for you? Can't thank you enough for all your time and research. I hope this much anticipated evergrow fixture isn't priced too much higher then their d120s.
