thank you. but what does that look like? some cheap accent leds, or is it gonna light a 10 gal? maybe a 100 gal or 1200? what sort of life could this support? is it a basic moon light or grow some sps? these are the questions that arnt answered on the side of the drivers...

12x60W LED can make you blind

For tank, it depends on their placement, tank size and depth. But it is obviously an overkill for 10 gallon :P

thank you. i guess what im trying to figure out is, are these things useful (im looking to light a standard 120 gal and 40 gal sump)? im a total noob when it comes to led (and reefing really in general), and dont even know where to start. these drivers are available and if the price is right, i figured i might be able to build a half decent fixture? what does it cost to build something like this? where do i start? how much would i save by using these drivers? would i be better off with a different driver entirely? what am i getting myself into? should i just walk away now.....
