Surely at least one person is running these lights. Are they worth the price?

Really? Figured it'd be enough for some lps. Guess all the cost is in the timer!

After reading more reviews and manufacturer descriptions, seems you may be right. You quite possibly saved me from making a disappointing purchase. Thanks! So the search for the perfect light continues...

Not looking to spends hundreds of dollars on a light for my daughter's tank. Thinking led bar(s): easy to mount and no fans. Biggest problem is the foot print, which is 20"x18". Tough to find lights for those dimensions.

I have a 50/50 Chinese led that I am not using. It could use a little spray paint though.

 

[jeffopentax]

Anyone have any idea how i could mount one those 165w led units? Tank has no canopy, and hanging is not an option.

jeff, check out Reeflover in mew members intro, he has hung lights and its a really clean look..

 

[jeffopentax]

Is that the one that put brackets on wall ? It does look good, but wife would make life pretty miserable for me if i did it that way!
