Do leds go bad? Thinking of buying this 160 watt for 100 bucks. Everything works just it's 3 years old.
 
You are good .. great light .. ask who ever your buying from if they upgraded the optics to 120
 
I have the same light. Back in the box now as I have a larger tank.

It’s a great light.
 
The leds can go bad...I have a 420r with one channel out (can’t remember if it was the white or blue) that I need to send in for repair. It will be about $150 for repair and shipping.
My daughter has another one that she is using on a 36 gallon bow front that works fine.
 
Great light, it's worth buying.
 
So I got it, question do the fans run constantly or come on who it's hot?
 
Nevermind just read they only turn on when temp goes above 120
 
Wow I can't believe I got this light for 100 bucks. Next question I have a 90 gallon currently running a China 48 inch full spectrum led with 2 bulb t5 ati blue bulbs. Can I put the maxspect 420 160watt over the tank and remove the t5s?
 
I've had one going on 4 1/2 years now. Still runs good with the 120 optics. If you have the room I'd run the t5s on the front and back of the Maxspect, helps to get rid of the LED shadowing.
