Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

These lights are extremely bright in terms of par when put on full, particularly if you keep all the lenses on. The lights are more shimmery than the t5s. Seems well built. Great fluoresence, coverage, and shimmer with blues alone.

Budget recommended, fans are quiet. The par levels are almost 500 at the top to 150 at the bottom. Not bad but my tank is in the same room as my high end music listening room.



Cons

It's interesting the new sb reef board is not near as pleasing to the eye as the vipar was but the coral love the sb reef light and hated the vipar light. Definitely a fowlr light. Imo u get what u pay for.

I do wish the lights came that way from the start but the customer service is leaps and bounds better then anyone i have dealt ...  Read More

Competitiveness


There are similar lights with more bells out now for the same price.


I'll start by saying i watched the bulk reef supply black box light competition, the viparspectra 165w won.

    Not happy that these do not keep settings with power outages


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    And with multiple units the remotes are useless because one changes all units


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The set up is pretty easy if not very basic


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The light came broken the power cord is touchy and it makes the light constantly turn off and making me have to reset everything but i reached out to the company and they are more than willing to try to fix the problem


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I will update the review once i get the replacement part


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The light doesn’t ramp up or down and there is only two color channels to control which is fine for what i want


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If you live in an area with periodic power outages pair it with a ups as the unit loses the current time when power goes out

    Ill start by saying i watched the bulk reef supply black box light competition the viparspectra 165w won
