Or if there is some diyers that have some info that i don't on cheaper supplies ect.. let me know

-it is a modular unit so burnt out leds or parts are easily swapped(similar to ai sol).
-i can light my 48x24x24 120gal for under $500
-240 watts of brigelux leds which is more then i would go in a diy for myself but still looking alot cheaper then the kits i am looking at.
-also, already put together and in pretty good looking boxes
-dimmable (i dont think u can control them with a controler) |
I have heard that these fixtures have heat issues and the leds tend to burn out.
