To Cree or not to Cree

If you are talking about no name Chinese fixture then I would not trust them. I am yet to see pictures of real modern Cree setup coming from these folks.

 

This is all of the info about the fixture. It is on eBay.


You are bidding on a brand new LED fixture.

Please watch our video showing daily life and health with the model and LED ratio being sold to you.

We want you to see that the panel itself will go through all light cycles, it will do sunrises, sunsets, moon light.

Also note that the ratio displayed has purples, blues and a mix of cool and warm whites which is included in the model being advertised on this page.

With a controller, this fixture will automatically dim to imitate the rise and set of the sun. There are 5 different modes pre-programmed into the fixture.
Manual dimming of the fixture can be easily done to acclimate your corals in a stress-free environment.

There is also an SD card slot (included in your purchase) where you can upload your own specific times and programming.

You can also dim the actinics, whites and moonlights to your liking.

For that kinda money I'd go with the AI vega ... But that's just my preference.

 

can you post the link to the fixture, but honestly I'd use reefbreeders.com, they are a sponsor here and can be trusted. I'm guessing they have similar units for cheaper

 

I personally believe there are better options that that price point.
