    honestly that thing is a fire hazard. gets very hot. also it doesn't have individual reflectors. and junk bumps that you will need to replace every 6 months

    for a little more money that will pay for it in a year's time, since you wont need new bulbs.

    any of these 120w led | eBay

    if you want to buy from someone in the US that will warranty it locally try these guys. reefbreeders

    I honestly do not see a problem with them... but thats just me and I am not making the jump to LEDs.

    Cheers!

    I have bought LEDS off ebay... they are junk

    The bulbs are most likely low quality and will need to be replaced in 3 to 6 months. As stated no individual or formed reflector around the bulbs so it may not produce enough light for light needy corals and clams.
