WavePoint HID Already In Japan: Aqua-System AXY-X35

The WavePoint HID aquarium spot lights created a big buzz after Reef-A-Palooza as one of the first aquarium HID lights to be hitting the USA, but, truth be told, they have been out in Japan for some time now and sold by Akuashisutemu as the AXY-X35. One of the noted differences is the mount which in Japan is made for rimless aquariums. Amoung the pics below are a couple spectral graphs giving us a glimpse of the output of these 35 watt HID bulbs. Dimensions and other specs are also included.

Do they use these as their main lights?

 

Yeah on small tanks. I saw a lot of nano pics with these.
