Which LED fixtures should I get

[Doug]

They look similar to the Evergrow fixtures Reef Supply carries. I had the 2080 version. Very nice light.

Evergrow are the best cheap leds money can buy most others are not used enough for people to give a good review

I've read that the evergrows r pretty much same as the ebay ones and it's just double the price because it's from a retailer and eBay is from the supplier

Not really the same, E-bay ones "dimmable" Evergrow ones "programmable" there is a difference.

[jason604]

Isn't being programmable to ramp up and down just for aesthetics n not so much for growth/color?

[canadianbudz604]

The ebay lights can be programable too, and they are almost exactly the same. If you aren't worried about sunrise sunset 80% here 20% there there's nothing wrong with the ebay lights. One thing make sure the leds are rebel or bridgelux

From what I understand with the units that have dimmer knobs is you have one intensity all day and night don't you? And then they go off. I enjoy tinkering with the programming feature on the Evergrow from time to time, it's digital so you know exactly what percent you're at for each channel. at 1130 pm the lights are programmed so just the blues and UVs are on so everything fluorescent glows and my house isn't flooded with intense tank lighting anymore. At midnight the moonlights come on and it's just subtle. Same thing in the morning, slow ramp up

The sun changes intenesity on corals throughout the day, so why not have lights that do the same.... If price is a factor then that looks like a pretty big difference! So guess just depends on how much you'd like to spend.
