This quality, high output LED light has been specifically designed for use in reef aquarium systems. It is powered by multiple energy efficient 1 watt LEDs that provide the correct intensity and spectral output needed to maintain a reef aquarium. Each LED has a specifically design polycarbonate lens to maximize light penetration into the aquarium and gives a beautiful ""shimmer"" effect that mimics the natural ocean. The innovative housing pulls heat up and away from the LEDs and aquarium. This slim, low profile light adds an elegant and attractive look to any aquarium. The LEDs have an expected life span of 50,000 hours, which will drastically reduce the typical cost of bulb replacements.These lights come with a three-mode switch that allows either, daytime (white and blue LEDs on), lunar (only blue LEDs on), or all LEDs off. The units all feature only a single low voltage power cord providing additional safety and less clutter. Each light has wire frame legs that expand allowing for increased versatility should you ever decide to change the aquarium that it is used on. The 18"" model expands to 24"", the 24"" model expands to 36"" and the 36"" model expands from 48"" to 60?. The legs can also be removed from the light, and the light can be placed on a glass canopy to allow for an even lower profile.SizeExpands toWhite 10,000K LEDsBlue 460nm LEDsTotal WattsLumens18""24""18329130524""36""23436167036""48""36657261048""60""488753340

What You Need To Know
First, let me say that I am pleased with the astetics of the light fixture and its sleek low profile design which easily fits under my low profile SeaClear Acrylic Canopy. I also like the three peice design (fixture + power cord + wall plug) the power adapter was designed so you can run a small adapter cord up from a box that sits under your aquarium instead of a bulky power cord from the unit to the wall.
Second, let me say that I am pleased with the looks of the light, it is much brighter than my Compact Flourencent Light fixture that was in use prior to installing the Marineland Reef Compatable LED's. I was most happy to see the shimmering effect that they gave which is every bit as good as the Metal Halides in use at the local fish store which has a tank that shimers quite nicely.
Third, this is why I marked off one star. The light is quite narrow, only about Five Inches wide, and all of the LED lights face straght down. This results in very dim areas in...

Very bright, very happy
So I have had a fish only with live rock for about a year and a half. The size of my tank is 55 gallons and the tank is 48 inches long, and about 18 inches deep. I have had a very old florescent bulb that I have had for years that I finally decided was getting too old for my tank. I have been wanting to start getting a reef set up. I read all the reviews of this light and have watched lots of youtube videos about it (check out youtube) and I am ok with the moonlighting not being on a separate plug. It would be nice but I don't plan to ever use it that much anyway. I plan on getting some soft corals within a few weeks and I will update this review and let you all know how they do. I love this light. To me it was worth the money, I am seeing things growing in my tank and in the live rock that I have never been able to see before, its just so bright and illuminating. It is sleek and sexy on top of my tank. I have never had any other lights on my tank that were capable of handling...
Great for bright lighting,maybe soft corals....
It is slim and compact,does'nt run hot,BUT not exactly what you would want for a large reef.If you locate your soft corals that are easy to grow directly under them AND raise them up to par level,it will keep them alive,and help them grow a bit.I sorta expected this and was prepared for such an event.I know this is basically first gen led reef lighting so i was ok with it.I should also mention that you need to switch the lunar lights by hand, or use on a timer switch with it set at "all on",there is only one power switch.All in all very attractive and great lunar lighting.
