not really sure what you are talking about with the "doctored pics "

there are some arriving next week and the guy is going to pop them open to see how the heatsinks look as well as if there will be a way to get them controlled with 1-10v

here are some newer pics of the a6 model:

gop look at the pics of the lights over the tank. the all blue is blue, the all white picture is like "Wow" everything popping, colors are looking about 13K lots of purple, definatly not a "all white" photo.

then go look at the one light blue and one light white. the white side of this is more what I would expect from 100% white only, not the previous.

why don't try this web for DIY everything you need to get and to know how to do it is there
Commercial lights fixtures never gonna last longer that DIY if you do it right it is not that expensive but is better.
Imagine commercial led fixture last more than 10 years 12 hours a day they will go bankrupt
Check this web : http://reefledlights.com/
For good led fixture you have 2 option DIY led lights and save about the half of $ or buy commercial and pay fortune

that site has the total at 1200+ for comparable wattage and no enclosures... i could buy a commercial fixture and have quite a few options for that price.
