LED Fixture - cheap

[cale262]

I saw one over at AI that looks identical...non controlable etc., I guess it would be fine for a FOWLR.

I read the return and warranty policy on the e-bay listing, I've bought quite a few things on e-bay and this policy would certainly scare me away quick if I was considering this product.

those are the ones im refering too, but i think the ones at AI are controllabe..... there's little red buttons on top that enable you to turn the LEDs on in 1/3rd sections

Not really what I meant by controllable,...these are I/O only... not dimable, not colour controlable, not programable (PC/APEX/RK/Profilux) etc.

I have bought from this seller before, mostly a few random bulbs and low wattage LED panels form my reptile enclosures. While the plants and animals look better under these, the build quality isn't stellar (flickering leds here and there).

I think the warranty is only something like 30 days. Aside from that, I have not really noticed anything detrimental. I wouldn't get in too deep on ebay products.

I've also purchased LED lights from this seller before as well as from their website, mostly house hold LED replacement bulbs such as GU10s. Pretty much all failed in some way within a year. So as far as I'm concerned this fixture wouldn't be much different, hardly a money saving investment if it only lasts a year.

Hmmm...

now I feel silly, I just checked my e-bay history, I have bought lights from this seller, 4 MR11 LED replacement bulbs for my Edge...they're still going strong after almost two years of use...
