Has anyone seen or owned this set up?

I’m trying to upgrade and get rid of the current USA orbit led for a t5 with metal halide. I don’t think I’m getting the amount of light I need for my nems and soft corals. I’ve read the orbit led just doesn’t have the par. Any thoughts on this t5 set up? I’m trying to avoid a fixture hanging above tank where everyone is watching tv and be distracted by the light.

Several reports of fires with that brand

Id look into Hamilton Lighting. Made in the good ol’ USA!

I have one of those, it gets really hot, but if you use the side mount it sits about 6 inches off the tank, light quality was ok, not using it anymore

I have the 24 inch model. I have not noticed any problems with it. The fire reports were from years ago and I haven't heard any new ones. Mine is hanging about a foot over a 40 breeder and I get full spread. I like it better than the reef breeder photon first gen it replaced. Way more pleasing to the eye color wise. I bought mine off of eBay used for $100 dollars and it was still in the original box. The cords suck one for the moon lights one for the T5s and a remote ballast for the halides. From what I've read most people swap out the bulbs. The older models used a ballast that was under driven but the new ballasts are supposed to be better.
