Check out Kessil . They are moderatly priced and are of good quality. It really depends on what your lighting needs are though.

Take a look at reefsupplycanada.com Although I have a big DIY light that has yet to see water, I also just purchased their new IT series fixtures (I got the 2040) and I'm pretty impressed. This will be for a frag tank and I got the Bridgelux version rather than the Cree option just for savings. Nick is really good to deal with too.

Hope that helps.

Thanks mseepman, I appreciate the site. I also did some looking around and I came upon this retailer at another forum.

Link: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums...rs-237350.html

Now I did some comparing and saw that at reefsupply, there are some similar lights with Cree LED. However, the prices are bit higher than Pharos. I know that they offer a little more functions than Pharos but at the given price point of $440. I think I might jump on this deal. Looking at the youtube video and comparing to that of the other ones I saw at reefsupply, I think it looks promising. I know I still have some time to decide, since the sale last till Jan 12th. Let me know what you guys think.

The brands of LED I used for reference Ecotech LED Lighting & 24" Sun Brite F-Series LED Fixture.

I also came across this site:
http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...ght=pharos+led

It gave a pretty good reference of the Pharos LED lights. I am personally leaning towards this right now. Would love to hear more opinions on this or other great LED out there.

Thanks

From the looks of the light, ya that is the Pharos LED light that I am talking about. That is an awesome picture you got right there. I was wondering what it would look like when they are put in parallel. The light is very evenly distributed.

Oyf, btw, what is the wattage on each of the fixture?

Thanks so much.

90w each and I suggested the owner of this tank to only get 2 but he like the brighter look so decide to get 3
