Aquaticlife HM Electronics Core X Leds

[Ironwill723]

Anyone have any experience with these? I just picked up 3 of them with free mounting arms for $182/each on the Aquaticlife.com webpage during their Black Friday sale.

From the research I have done it looks like these are made in Taiwan /Japan by HM Electronics and Volxjapan.

I just received them yesterday so I have yet to test them out over my current tank. Out of the box the build quality seems very good with Meanwell drivers and the app seems easy to use and dial in the spectrum. Coverage is supposedly 36"x24". I'm hoping to use them on a 96L"x24W"x30H" softy tank. For $546 total for 3 units I thought I would give them a try.

Here are a couple links if anyone is interested or has any input.

3 x Core XPs w/mounts for $182/each! Seemed like a good deal to me. I did see the XPs on Amazon regular priced at $304 just now. I think they have dropped the prices since they first came out in 2020.
