Comments: Easy start, quiet operation, excellent reflector for daylight frequency, this is a great item for the refugium. Can't imagine using one without it! Also had a problem with UPS and Customer Service took care of it immediately. What a great group!!

Comments: Really bright and grows my macro alg. nicely. It gets a little hot and if you order the stands for the light you have to DIY some way to keep the light out of your tank if you run the fuge light 24/7 like I do, but all the same it works really well for the macro algae.

Comments: Need more attention to detail, example, I got medium size light that should fit the medium size refugium, but there is a gap between the light and the refuge, light can escape and shin through my tank from top. And it gets Hot.

Comments: This Fuge light is excellent. Puts out lots of light and fits the refugium perfectly.

Comments: Runs hot. Flickers at start-up. Sometimes takes awhile to light.

Comments: The original fixture did NOT have the external replaceable starter, the starter was way up inside the housing. The original fixture lasted only 2 1/2 months. CPR sent a replacement which was obviously made by some different contract manufacturer; different components, much better product, still no external starter. There are different versions of this fixture out there, hopefully, you will get the newer version, the earlier ones are poorly made.
<br />It does fit my Aquafuge nicely and is attractive.

Comments: I like the ballast but the bulb is way to hot for 3 1/2 gallons of water I was cooking my cheato and pods.24 watts of pc daylight is definatly not needed it is overkill. I got the 50/50 light and now everthing is fine cheato and pods growing and nitrates and phosphates are being removed also you need the stand which I think they should tell you or sell with it.

Comments: I have had this light over my refugium for 6 months. It is enclosed in a stand (with fans), and was never dropped or submerged. Water exposure was limited to drips (from hands) on the outer casing, never the electronics. After only 6 months of use, the bulb was melted and the socket was discolored. It appears to be a fire hazard. It doesn't seem to be constructed well enough to really function as a refugium light. I'll look for something else.

Comments: I first tried the JBL nano lights, I really like the concept of LED, lower concuption and cooler running. Exchanged that light for this one, what a difference there was just in the first day. My cheato algae had been wilting on the side away from the JBL. Once this light had a chance to cycle a couple og days, the Algae started to show new growth right away. I have the hang on back fuge, I wish this had been designed a little better to prevent light from going everywhere, since I do run it opposite of my tank lights. I too will be glueing a piece of rubber in to block it.

Comments: The light works, but it has a really loud an annoying 60Hz buzz. The ballast (and electronics in general) are really crappy. I'm in the process of replacing its innards with an old (but serviceable) PFO ballast I had from my main hood to fix the problem. All in all, better lighting products can be had for the price.

Comments: great

Comments: The light works fine after I took out the bulb when I got it and put it back in. Only problem with this fixture is light coming into main tank which I fixed by glueing a piece of black rubber to the fixture to prevent light from coming in at night.

Comments: so far so good, generic pc light in a small size that fits nicely over the aquafuge. It does exactly what i want it to do, so therefore i have no complaints.

Comments: I purchased this light and stands for my refugium from CPR. It fit perfectly over the top and looks great. It is very bright and lights up everything nicely.
<br />I would definitely purchase again.
