Hey guys I currently have a current USA Orbit pro led light on my 60 Gal long (Marineland). I’m considering upgrading my light to get better growth out of my coral. I’m trying to do this on a budget and hoping for some leds under $500-600 CAD. Any recommendations?

I seen these lights on ebay. Does anyone have experience with these?

Yes those will grow coral but they generally have high light spots right below them so be careful. Also the PCB board/PSU aren't the best quality. I'd expect to see a life of 2-3 years before something goes wrong. With the low-end lights, I've also need people that have rust on the housing.

BRS did a pretty good video on the no-name black box LEDs
 
I would be a bit uneasy ordering something from China, it may end up in poor shape and there's likely no way you would be able to get your money back if that was the case.
