Mars Led strip light

Does anyone have this light and what are their thoughts? I've seen plenty of reviews on the 165w lights that look like a copy of the radions. These look like a copy of the orbit strips with much more power. I really like the mounting legs on the orbits but the power is concerning. I've tried to search reviews on this item but can't seem to find any.

They do look more like the Current or Marineland fixtures. But they do run at close to 3 watts/led. However, only 24 leds in this vs 55 in most of the other Chinese fixtures. My guess is is that for zoas, softies and lps, probably OK even at 24" deep. If you want sps, get a better fixture.

I run two currents on my 40 breeder. I have a RBTA that does great. I think this would be a big upgrade over those. I also like the leg mounts for that specific tank. Plus it's only about 16-17" deep tank.

On my 80 I have radion xr30 pros so that is where I will have corals with higher lighting demand.
