LED/tank controllers

I just changed over from halide lighting to LED. It is DYI setup. I currently don't have a controller but want to get one and also control my lights. I originally thought that I wanted to get something like a reef angel, but then a good deal came up on a reef keeper lite. With the add on, I can control the lights.

My question is does anyone have experience with reef keeper controlling LED's, and would I be better of with a reef angel? Or third use the reef keeper for the tank and use something like the controller on clay-boa for lights?

So RA will not work for you because it's PWM. You will need RKL and ALC module. Get one with moon pods if you don't have moon lights now. I have been using this kind of set up for the past year. Works well.
