Not everyone's system needs the latest greatest 3 watt Cree LEDs. Looks like the fixture uses BridgeLux LEDs which I think are an established, good quality brand. This might be a great deal for someone to get into the LED market if only to save some money on their electric bill and still get a good amount of light. No reason you couldn't use this for a FOWLR or even a mixed reef tank if placed properly. Doesn't look like it's controllable/dimmable though, so that might be a consideration. Probably wouldn't be impossible to retrofit a dimmable feature though.
