Very well developed
| Installation and Operation |
Installation was a breeze. I did run into an electrical problem with one of the wires, but that was easy to fix. It was also hard a first to attach the lights with the individual reflectors, but I eventually got the hang of it.
|
| Performance vs. Expectations |
I have been able to grow anything I put in my 55 gallon. The LEDs have a really cool shimmering affect. I like how the LEDs have 2 modes, 1 for high power day, and 1 for low power moon lights. The T5HO have a substantial amount of PAR output. I will say that it is in your best interest to take off the plastic film on the individual reflectors BEFORE you turn the fixture on (learned the hard way.....)

| Value for money |
Being on a tight budget, it was hard for me to find a good fixture for a decent price. This was the cheapest decent looking fixture I could find that fit my needs. But it has surpassed my expectations and really proved me wrong.
