Any experience or feedback from this light? Is fairly cheaply priced.

Seems good for shallow tanks, or smaller tanks w lower light corals.
Marine Depot sent me this link with the PAR values.

I'm looking at a Jbj 45gal rimless. Is that too deep?

you'd have to be the judge, based on your sand rock and livestock.

I wanted to dabble in SPS but not too intense, LPS for sure though. My sand would be the grain above fine?

im comfortable agreeing with Saltyfilm, it seems it would work well in a low penetration, shallow build.
You tell us how it works. Its very new. LEDs have laser like pen and intensity.
Im interested to see how these turn out.

I have the 8" inch light on a Innovative Marine Nuvo-Fusion 10gallon. The tank is 13inches deep. The light is very sleek and the attachment bracket has a low profile. The light sits approx 5-6 inches above the tank.

With that said it is very bright provides total coverage of the aquarium. I'm currently stocking zoas and LPS (mostly Acans) and all are doing great. You can adjust the white or blue light intensity and it has a timer function with dawn and dusk capabilities (check YouTube). Nothing fancy but for the price it is well worth the investment!

But, IMO you might want something a little more powerful/controllable for SPS.

I think so. for me not worth the gamble. @130 you can do better esp used. Reef breeders sbreeflights reef radience or two current orbits used. all have better spectrum than a chinese black box.
if you hit the $200 mark you can get a LOT of bang for the buck.
@25o A LOT of bang

$129

Reef radience Reefbreeders are on par with these.
current is an ebay wait and see.

I cannot set mine right. It's in my bedroom so I like to turn it off during night but then pops on at 4am or whenever. I followed instructions but seems no way to turn blue off at night without it popping on whenever!
