Looking to use it on a 20L frag tank. I don't trust anything without some kind of maker name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbittner May 25, 2008 Share May 25, 2008 Looks like a pretty good deal! And the seller has a great rating. He also a 14 day return policy so if it's not what you want, you can probably send it back to him and get your money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite May 25, 2008 Share May 25, 2008 But has anyone actually seen one in person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesbuf May 25, 2008 Share May 25, 2008 Might be worth trying as a fuge light. Considering it's gonna cost me ~$40 to get a new PC bulb shipped for my current light, a brand new fixture for $50 doesn't seem to bad. I'd open up the unit to see what's inside of course.

Longchamp May 25, 2008 Share May 25, 2008 Might be worth trying as a fuge light. Considering it's gonna cost me ~$40 to get a new PC bulb shipped for my current light, a brand new fixture for $50 doesn't seem to bad. I'd open up the unit to see what's inside of course. If it lights up, for $50 it doesnt seem like it could be that bad. The things that most concern me are that 1. There's no brand name at all, and 2. It says "10k blue", whatever that means.

reefmontalvo May 25, 2008 Share May 25, 2008 There great great lights. The only thing I would watch with those products it that when things go wrong you can't just go to the store and return for something else. Also I purchased a 48" T-5 corla light set works great but the stand it comes with is a bit "suspect" if you know what I mean. Plus they come with one cord so you don't have the ease of phasing the lights like you would if you had multiple cords to truly control your lights. Other than that there fine.
