what's the deal with these? anyone ever use them? can you use them exclusively, or do you need to run them in tandem with VHO/T5 or PC lighting?

They are pretty much glorified night lighting. It will provide a bit of shimmer effect if you have pc lighting on a smaller tank. But in my honest opinion they are just brighter night lights. I used to have two of the units on my tank.
