Ebay LED light

I was on ebay tonight and found this LED light they claim it will keep corals such sps lps and softies heres the link tell me what you all think about it.

Aquarium Reef LED Lamp 20W 10000K White (150W Metal Halide alternative Light) | eBay

 

That is about a sixth the power of 250watt mh, and not adjustable color wise.

 

I didnt think it would be worth a damn seeing how its only $60 but it seems like alot of ppl buy crap like that without looking into it more. Call me old fashioned but i like the look of the metal halides or T5s over leds anyway

 

Royal blue and white LEDs alone is an "old school" concept, new LEDs come out every 6 months or so, and the old series quickly falls behind. A fixture you may have seen a little while ago, might just be outdated by now. If it did not have colored LEDs, it was not up to the full potential LEDs have as far as colors go. With violets, you get an amazing shimmer, and actinict effect to best any mh or T-5 system. Don't get me wrong, I still have non rgb fixtures over one of my reef tanks, and it does just fine, but if you are in the market for a new fixture, you may as well start with a full spectrum of colors.

 

it makes no sense to look at ebay when we have a new sponsor that sells bad ass fixtures made in US for the price of a diy kits!

unfortunatelly I'm not cool enought to get in to group buy due to my amount of posts........

 

Don't get it
won't be as efficient as CREE or other nicer LED's
Color spectrum will look terrible
I would look into DIY kits or reef breeders LED's if you want cheap ones.

 

We like our rules just fine thanks.
