Is this not the same as the Photon 16 reefbreeders??

    probably. I always wondered the same thing.

    I dont think the RB unit is exclusive to them, but I could be wrong. Hopefully logan will jump in here soon.

    Yeah I mean I'd love to order from them but the amount of time it takes for them to come seems rather lengthy

    I believe Logan's supplier overseas supplies other companies too. However, I think Logan does a few minor changes in shop and stamps the warranty on it (within the US).

    The lights in the link are the evergrow IT series which is the same exact light as "Reefbreeders". Reefbreeders orders the light from evergrow, evergrow builds them with the layout that reefbreeders has asked for and ships them. They have a warranty that is provided from the manufacturer but American distributors keep parts on hand and flaunt it as their own warranty. For example, the remote quit working on mine about a month ago. I called the distributor from which I purchased my light and he sent a new remote immediately with no questions asked. So to answer your question...Yes it is the same fixture but the layout may be different.

    reefbreeders layout is pretty tried and true. I would go with them

    the photons just recently got the "upgrade" in layout. I believe the originals, that started the RB trend, were just the standard lights like the link above.
