How long dose it take to get the lights once orderer ? Like a few days or fee weeks I see a lot of people saying they order them but are waiting for them to show up

domination2580 · Dec 31, 2015

It says on the site 3 to 7 days starting after 24 hours after ordering

Right now they ship from China and take 5-10 days depending on shipping carrier used.

Really? Mine shipped from the same place and said Tuesday next week?

Nevermind. I just checked and they said they were already here! Can't wait to get home and open it up! They shipped Monday so only 3 days. That's pretty quick if you ask me.

I'm still waiting. I'm about to stab somebody if they don't come on. Everyone on the facebook page is posting the ones they got today, and I'm just still waiting.

I just opened it up and the directions are not great. I can't download the app of anything because for whatever reason neither wifi light is on there site and that's where the download link is. So I'm not sure what to do. Maybe @Mike Herman can help me out.

I don't like this....

Click the video links for directions. I will have the web developer check the website to see why the app is not there.

ndz98 got it figured out. We are out of stock on the wifi so the web developer took the item off instead of just making QTY zero. It's back up now. Sorry about that.

Quite a bit of what is on that page is either completely fabricated or doesn't mean anything.

In addition, due to the lack of green, amber, and red spectra, any non-fluorescent corals will be lackluster. Many think that '20K' white LEDs and the like are what's 'best', but they're certainly not the best when talking about color.

And it will work with my computer since I don't have an android device right?

Would love some peer review, please explain. Everything there is confirmed by both academic papers, peer research and hobbyist experience. Nothing new or experimental. Not being snarky, seriously, we are always looking to make our lights better, and welcome any and all input and even critique.

Depends on what your definition of 'good' is. Every light out there claims to be the best. This one happens to have more violet than others, but realistically the diodes used are so low in output that it their inclusion doesn't much change the end result.
