I have had mine for a year with no issues. Full disclosure I have messed with the spectrum on my 300w. Added some UV and 20k LED's. I personally think viparspectra is one of the better Chinese black boxes.

Given the comparison with other fixtures, they are right on par (forgive the pun) in longevity. Actually, since they are repairable if you are handy then they will outlast most fixtures.
Then take into the cost and you are way ahead of the game anyway.

More good news!Yes 2 is enough. I had 2 on my 90 sps/lps mix tank and everything done great. A ton of growth. I was actually surprised in these lights. Attaching picture
Lovely tank and great

i'm probably not the best to answer that i have mostly lps with a few encrusting sps but those lights don't drop off very fast from top to bottom, & i don't have any softy's so i cant really say as i have never done it.
It is also fairly easy to wire them into Apex VDM & set a sunrise/sunset schedule & have the controller power off - if I recall correctly they do not dim below 10% so that would need to be your start/end points for the ramp up/down schedule.

Just keep in mind. They don't dim. It's just on and off for blue on a timer then on and off for white on a timer. If that works then you can't go wrong.
I stand corrected. Didn't know you could wire them to an apex. you tube video?

You really can't go wrong for $225 for 2. I love the design of kessil but I just think the pricing on reef lights is absolutely insane. Sb reef is very good quality for the price as well.
These are 2 set at 30/15 18" above the tank. These things are a lot more intense than the auto settings on my phone pic lets on. Im still working on the tank

I have heard most don't dim reliable past 10%. I have noticed a visible difference in light below 10% to verify it does dim still but have not verified if there is any fluctuation below 10%.

if you check ebay you can often get 2 for cheap even $165 for 2.
