    I am not familiar with these lights but my experience has been you get what you pay for.
    If you decide to try them out please let the club know how they worked.

    Im gonna have to agree with stews answer. For a 125 I dont think they would work but Ive only used lights like that for a fuge. Ive seen them on nanos before also

    Yeah these look like a gamble to use for anything but a fuge. It also doesn't instill confidence that their store banner says "Hi baby" in a text bubble. What are they selling? :roflmao:

    54 watts, 18 LED's at 1.05 each. Looks to be the 5mm (early production) type. The 5mm are inefficient and cost roughly a penny each when bought in huge units. The seller is likely trying to capitalize on that. Initial look is I can't see it provide the worth of a 54w T5HO bulb. 25 high performance cree bulbs pull ~70W. Best bet is non coral application.

    I knew someone would know the specifics. I definitely know that you get what you pay for and skimping in this hobby will only cost you more in the long run.
