I’m liking the black box

I had the second one till yesterday found it floating in my tank did good for my tank but if black box would do better than may go with that

I've retrofitted 4 Ebay black boxes by soldering my own LED diodes per exactly the light spectrum I wanted.

Only problem with most Ebay/Amazon blk boxes is the power supplies usually fry around 24mos. I was lucky and found direct replacements on the 4 retro's I did. I'm ready when the power supplies fry bc of SW moisture over time.

WITH THAT SAID.... visually comparing the two light you presented.... the blk box type is a more powerful light at 165watts to the 30watt. blk box will be a huge PAR upgrade

i say blk box....but know that going in, it's a powerful but DISPOSABLE light

if I get 3-5yrs out of my retros, I'll be happy


hth
