  • Great No-Frills Light
Size: 1 Pack 165W LED Aquarium Light
I purchased two of these lights to put over my 65g reef. Following advice online I cracked the units open and 'hacked' them to remove all of the lenses except around the outer perimeter to give better spread. (The lenses on the inner side of both fixtures, where they're next to each other, were also removed.) I was impressed to see that there're some decent measures taken to prevent salt creep from invading through the plexi window at the bottom of the light from splashes -- there's both a bead of silicone and a gasket. However, you'll still be out of luck if you drop the thing in the tank. With the bottom of the fixtures about 10" above the surface of the water and the light set at 75/30 I was getting PAR of about 275 mmol about 8 inches down, and about 125-185 on the sand (with the highest levels at the bottom in the middle of the tank where both fixture's coverage overlapped.) With the lenses removed discoballing is reduced and more light reflects back off the sides of the tank internally, giving better light to otherwise shadowed areas. However, the top of my tank is fully enclosed by a hood; keeping the lights this high with no lenses might be intolerable otherwise, if I didn't have something to block the light-spill. The lights are easy to program using the included remote, but a bit of a pain if you want to turn them on during a time when they're set to be off. It would also be nice to have a soft-start that ramps the lights up from 0 over a period of a few seconds, if only to not startle the fish -- but I now have a screen on the top of my tank, so it's not an issue. The whites at 1% are very bright and may provide a tank that's too white for some users even at this level -- however, personally, I found the whites provided at 70/30 to be pleasing. These lights are extremely bright in terms of PAR when put on full, particularly if you keep all the lenses on. The use of a PAR meter to map out the light coverage of your tank is highly recommended when adding these lights to a tank, particularly if your previous lights were on the dimmer side. I have been acclimating my tank to the new light over the past two weeks and am most of the way to where I want to be; coral growth has already taken off compared to my previous, underpowered light. With the way that I mounted my lights, I was easily able to adjust both of them at the same time using a single remote, if some care was taken with the angles. While the onboard clocks can indeed drift apart, it's very simple to adjust the time on the light to get them back into synch. I'm also impressed by their customer service. Through my own ignorance I screwed up one of the hangers; they responded to my inquiry promptly and went above and beyond helping me out. Ultimately, you get what you pay for, but I consider these to be a fantastic value. These are no-frills lights, but they seem to be built decently well and with quality LEDs, and are more than sufficient to grow corals well, and -- though this is completely subjective -- I find their spectrum pleasing. Viparspectra put their money and effort on the things that really count, and pretty much on nothing else. I will likely pull out the LED drivers and replace them with 0-10v versions so that I can use my Apex to dim them, but that's a low priority upgrade. However, given the light's construction, it should be relatively simple to do so. ... show more

  • Really strong lights
Size: 1 Pack 165W LED Aquarium Light
Deceptively very powerful, recommend starting around 30% on the power cause you can really cook corals with this. Color is great. I ran it 8 inches about water line for my 125 gallon, while I didn't realize how strong they were, i ran them around 80% and have a massive leather toadstool coral, but bleached a birds nest. Turned it down and everything seems happier. Definitely worth the price, they're so strong compared to super expensive reef lighting. Only downside is you have to build a mount to them if you don't have the ceilings for it, they are heavy and you're not going to find something similar to kessel or radian to mount to the tank itself. Requires a lot of DIY work to get them installed safely. ... show more

  • Good so far
Only had these a few days. Replacing a AquaLife 72" T5 set up which ran well for about 12 years but finally died. Positives: * Easy to mount from the ceiling. * Seems well built * The lights are more "shimmery" than the T5s * Fairly easy to set up * The blue channel is a much deeper blue than the T5s * My old 5T fixture cost about $180 to replace the 8 bulbs each year and this LED is more energy efficient. Negatives: * Not loud but much louder then my old Aqualife which had a total of two fans. This pair has 6 fans. Not bad but my tank is in the same room as my high end music listening room. * No night light. My old fixture had 6 small blue LEDs for a nice night light. I pulled them out of the old fixture and mounted them in my hood on a timer. Would be nice to have a built in night light as a third channel. * Does not seem be a way to just turn on channel one or channel two without setting it up in the timer. When you adjust the brightness both channels come on at the set brightness. * One of my remotes came broken. I only needed one but was able to super glue the broken one to repair the cracked plastic. I didn't ask the seller for a replacement, it was easy for me to fix it. Overall happy so far. I set the dimmer down to 15% for the first 3 days and then up to 25% so the coral can adjust to the LED light. I had no light for 4 days but nothing died. Many of the mushrooms lost color but its already coming back strong. I am going to keep ramping up the dimmer every week. ... show more

  • Amazing Light, Even Better Customer Service!
Size: 1 Pack 165W LED Aquarium Light
I'll start by saying I watched the Bulk Reef Supply black box light competition, the Viparspectra 165w won. I was sold at that point on the light. I was very impressed when I got the light and the Pars checked out. After a couple weeks I noticed that some of my soft corals weren't enjoying the intensity of the light, I reached out to customer service looking for options. They were beyond helpful. Very prompt on response, polite, and looking to do anything to help me and my tank. We even had a mix up in shipping and they immediately sent out a replacement. I usually don't give 5 stars but Viparspectra is well deserving of it! ... show more

  • Great light, great price
Size: 1 Pack 165W LED Aquarium Light
So excited about how my corals have grown since adding this new light set up. It's wonderful for the price! I will definitely buy again. Even the fish colors look brighter.

Excellent product I am going to buy another for my 125 salt water. I've already purchased 2 and they work great. My corals are happy 😊
