60" 4x75W LED & 8x80W T5 LED Powermodule
Anybody using this or had one before?

ATI 60" 4x75W LED & 8x80W T5 LED Powermodule ? ReefGeek

Thinking about getting three of them for Grow-out systems and DT.
 
i have the 8x80 in 60 inches, i like the unit alot, i have gotten great growth out my fixture. my biggest 2 complaints with the unit are that on mine the plexiglass cover for the bulbs has warped from either heat or moisture makeing it a 45 min project to change the bulbs. the second issue i have with mine is that the plug for the fan is too big for the outlet causing it to fall out from time to time

Thanks a bunch.
As I may ask can you post a FTS from your tank with this light fixture?
 
I have the 24 inch 8 bulb no complaints at all. The power cord is huge though coming from the light and not easy to hide. I have a hood so it doesnt matter but could see it being an issue if I didnt. The controller is also very large as well. Other than that its an amzing light!
 
Have you thought about just buying a regular Sunpower 8 bulb for your grow out? It may save you some cash. I've seen quite a few great deals lately on used units.

You don't really need the sparkle, shimmer, day/night ramping ect. that people like in a display tank from LEDs.
