I bought this light from another vendor, my first one came in I hooked it up and immediately the light started to make a sizzling noise and the unit burnt out. Received a replacement and again within a week the unit started making sizzling noises again and then stopped. The lights were still semi working, I would come home and they would be off, I would turn the unit off the on and the lights would come back on for a little while. Needless to say after going through 2 defective units within 2 weeks I returned it and decided on a custom built LED light unit, I couldn't be any more happier with my choice! Don't buy this unit - Have the JBJ Trinity for almost 2 years with no issues and a new LED unit!!

I've only had the fixture up and running about a week. The supplied lamps look great and the quality of the fixture overall seems fine. My only complaint is the fan is pretty loud.
Also, while I read some reviews that said this fixture comes with moon lighting, mine certainly didn't.

Within three months of purchasing my unit three of the bulbs burnt out! Fortunately customer care replaced them even though I was outside the 90 warrantee. Then about two months of use later one of the ballasts blew. I contacted CurrentUSA and was provided the name and website of the ballast vendor and told to purchase a new one through them. They acknowledge their is some problem with this unit but refuse to do anything to correct it or take any responsibility for it. Save your time and money and go with a different brand. Specifically a company that will provide you a customer service number where you can talk with a person and not just wait for a return phone call after leaving a message!!!

runs hot. exhaust fan requires another plug/transformer. i don't see why you would use the light without the fan on therefor the fan should be powered with the lights and save another spot on the surge protector. keep in mind that it is designed for top of the aquarium only with no easy way to hang this light.

I have purchased many T5OH lights and I am very impresed with this unit. As soon as I turned this fixture on, my sand glowed! I have a 55 galloon and I am highly impressed. It is so bright that it lights up my entire classroom. This makes my other tanks look "blah" becuase this light is so good and the others what can I say. Good price. Only con is the legs are cheap and are somewhat difficult to install. Once finished this is an awesome unit. The fan is not LOUD like other comments would say! Def. buy :-) Vincent Wynne - Shelton High School, 120 Meadow Street Shelton CT 06484

Definitely enough light for my 75 gallon/70lbs live rock and so far one mushroom coral. My clowns and yellow tang show great color. Wish the fan was on the side blowing across the fixture, but it seems to be doing an adequate job.
