Reliable light

I haven't been on this forum in a while and I'm not up to speed on all the new technology in reef keeping. My old lights had gone out and I need a simple reliable led lights for my system. My tank is only 20" tall. I only have a couple of rbta and I don't plan to have more than bubble tip anemone and maybe some soft corals. Any recommendation? I'm thinking Current USA Orbit Marine might fit the bill but it seems I can't hang it under my canopy. Thanks in advance.
 
I use both Kessils and Radions, and both are extremely reliable, and if something does go wrong both companies offer excellent customer support.

If you're looking for something simpler and cheaper, I've heard a lot of good things about the Chinese black box LEDs. I'm sure someone else can chime in as to what brand and where to get them. I have no experience with them.
 
Maxspect Recurve 90 LED Light Fixture
Suited for aquariums: 36" to 48" in length

The next evolution in LED reef lighting. The Recurve LED Lighting Fixture looks like it could really take flight, with its sleek aerodynamic body and adjustable flaps. This all-in-one LED system utilizes the latest in LED technology, including Cree XT-E and XP-E high intensity LED chips in combination with twin supplemental LED strips both containing 4 separate supplementing color channels, offering impressive performance, appearance and ultimate spread in one streamline fixture.

What makes the Recurve unlike any other LED lighting fixture on the market is its pair of side-mounted flaps fitted with High Output LED Strips which can be angled up to 30° inwards to adjust both light intensity and spread. The High Output LED strips house four independently controllable LED channels that can replicate most popular T5 color blends. Each strip is encased with a special diffuser to further emulate the appearance of T5s, just using LED technology!

Built-in Controller
With the built-in controller, there’s no need to buy any other additional controller just to be able to use your aquarium lighting. The built-in controller integrated in the Recurve features an OLED monitor and a control dial, from which user can easily setup all the functions for the fixture.

Standard or Grouped Mode
Two or more Recurve fixtures can be connected together to control them simultaneously - all grouped fixtures will follow the settings programmed, saving time and effort on setting up multiple fixtures.

Control with iOS or Android Devices (Optional)
