[Bigsteve]

anyone here have these led's or have any opinions on them?

Have em, love em. I have 5 pro modules retrofitted in my 28 gallon tank hood.

Junk.

A friend of mine has them and has had all sorts of problems.

Ask Mcgyvr. He has had a ton of problems with them.

Over 18 months of usage on mine. Not a single failure on anything.

I don't run them any longer though. Didn't care for my colors under LEDs.

I have a 48" Blue Stunner Strip.

Man the color is sweeeeeet.

I have other blue strip LED's but none look like the ecoxotic stunner strip.

I will be getting two more.

I would get more than 2 but I only have room for 3 total in front of and behind my T5HO Fixture.

I highly recommend them.

In my opinion nobody in the LED game makes corals pop more than ecoxotic.

I also want to try the Blue/Magenta Stunner Strip too.

I purchased 3 pro's last year. One of the strips had 5 lights go out in about 11 months, ecoxotic replaced it no questions asked, so the customer service was great! They used to be 19 watts and now they are 16 watts, that may help prolong the life of them? My other two original strips are working fine though. If you are putting them in a canopy I'd recommend having a small fan blow across them to help keep them cool

Anyone find good deals on these?

I bought a 24" panorama pro last april. Used them for about 3 months and about 1/3 of the lights went out on each of the 5 bars. I'm going through ecoxotic with the warranty right now, I'm hoping by now they have figured out the problems with the units.

The pro modules ran extremely hot when driven to the 19w. They now have version 2 and run them at 16w, yet they put out more light with the upgraded LEDs.

I believe all my pro modules are version 1 and I haven't had a single one fail.

now the question is how are they with coral, would one 36" strip suffice for a 40b

No. It won't cover the 18" front to back. You will need two at least with a third if you want heavy sps.

Agreed... 2 would work well IMO... But 3 wouldn't hurt.
