Anyone have any experience with these? Or know of anyone? Been having a kessil 160 for about 7 years now and a led went out in it. So trying to see what’s out there without hitting the $400 range

I have not tried their cheaper line of lights, but I have a Razor over my anemone tank and three Recurve lights over my reef tank. They won't give you the insanely high PAR numbers some people talk about, but they have pretty good spread and color and grow corals well. I like the ease of programming, and on the reef tank I only have to program one and the other two follow it. I had one Razor lose its blue channel after several years, and one of the Recurves lost the violet channel shortly after the one year warranty, so their longevity leaves a bit to be desired.

I've had the Maxspect Jump LED since they came out in the US last October. It has worked great on my 50g cube. I believe the coverage is 24x24 and it comes with it's own mounting arm. The app works well with changing the color spectrum and setting up a schedule (not like the old kessil controller). I've seen some coral growth, lps and sps. It's a good light, I would recommend it.
My only issue was when it came out and it being so new. I had to return it in 2 weeks for repair, but CoralVue sent another to me and it has worked perfect since then.
I recently upgraded my light to try to get more par for some acros. So if intersted I can sell you my Jump light for $200.

Can’t wait. Since the freeze. Wifey hijacked the tank and said it’s her turn now to try to fill it up with corals and fish. She ordered light today plus a shipment from WWC. [emoji3061][emoji3061]

Cancel the order! Lol. Just joking.
It's a good light.
