Aquaillumination sol led fixtures, any experience?

I recently stumbled upon these led fixtures and i was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. I have been thinking of switching to led's for a while now, just want to make sure they will penetrate deep enough. All thoughts on these are welcome!

Here is a link to check em' out:

AND an Elos mini??? That's why you couldn't afford the current gen lol! Too much money for a drilled solana IMO, but a SICK setup if you have the dough!

gees he really had it high up above his tank, was it still effective at that height? Yeah i am looking at the 72" unit, more like dreaming though haha just not ballin enough!

Turbo- how do you like the control unit that comes with it? Does the light put off much heat? Any issues with the ballasts?

Its so high up because its extremely bright and it has the spotlight effect... the newer models have the reflectors to fix this... I received it, found out it was busted, and sent back within 2 days... During those 2 days it rocked my frag tank... colors were nuts...

The controller is "eh" ... it can control the white and blue separately and also has a sunrise/sunset function... its deff sweet that it has its own, but the Profilux and RKE can control it much more...
