Don't do it. I viewed one on display at my LFS and it looked great for the first week, then everything browned out. Not worth the money IMO.

I just hung a 5ft Illumina 260 on a customers tank were building and this is by far one of the nicest light systems i have been able to deal with. we have set the lighting up just as a show piece :)

cloud cover is a neat feature, however, to add either of those two features, you need the V-link USB dongle, and add from a PC.

Below are a couple of in progress photos . These were taken with an iPhone, so mind the quality :)

oh, and the light has been set to max out at %65 on all three LED colors.
