    a little update for anyone looking at this light.
    it works pretty good.
    i even have some yellow zoas and a mushroom that hitchhiked on some rubble that seem to be doing well down there.
    here are some pics. i think the names of the pics show the date.

    i can post some pics later if ya want.

    so far so good. it has been growing nicely.
    although i think with a regular bulb it may grow faster but i guess ya never no.

    either way i am very happy with the light.

    Cool Looks like the panel I was looking into getting but I'd get the 50/50 blue/white lights.
    Looks a lot better than the twisty bulb & clamp on reflector my Seahorse tank has now so an upgrade may be in it's future. :D
    Thanks for the update.

    another update-

    seems like this light looses its juice after a couple months of use.
    i hooked back up my spiral bulb and cheato started growing again.

    analysis- its a ok fuge like for 3 months. after that, not so much.

    im gunna hang it over my sump just for a light during the day when i wanna see sump level ect... so it wasnt a total loss of money.
