Evolution LED lighting

[reefkush]

Is anybody using evolution led lighting? I have read many many reviews out there and they have overall positive things to say about it. I would also definately like to see some pictures over a tank if anyone can post some. They are by far the cheaper costing led lighting except for diy. It cost about 200 bucks shipped. If anyone doesn't know what they are or have any opinions about the lights here is the link:

Im not sure about the light as i dont have one but i certainly wouldn't buy it from that store. Lots of complaints about them online.

I currently run 2 of the Evo 120's 14k over my 55 and I also have a 60 watt UFO 20k on my 30 gallon half moon aquarium. I have 4 Kenya trees, 1 Duncan that has about 6 new heads, a small frag of pulsing Xenia, 3 mushrooms, 1 frag of Glove polyps,a Corky Seafinger and unknown species of SPS. I had 260 watts of PCs before and there was no to little growth before the new LEDs.

I purchased them from Reefkoi's site.

Do you remember what the complaints were by any chance? And TwistedNerve, how are those lights working out for you? Do your corals still grow even with the 1 watt leds in the evo fixture?

I'm very happy with these 1 watts. I don't plan on super high light loving corals so these have been serving pretty darn good. I had these corals under 260 watts of PCs for over 3 months and saw very little growth. About a month after switching to these LEDs I've seen considerable growth. Another benefit I don't have to worry about my tank getting hot. What's really nice is the SPS I got started out as barely a 1/2" frag that was really browned out is now over 2" and has a nice metallic mint green color with dark chocolate polyps. My Duncan has sprouted 7 new heads, my Kenya tree has quadrupled from the 2" frag that I started with. My Corky Seafinger started with 2 small branches around 1/2" is now pushing the 4" mark and started a third branch. I keep what a lot of folks call very low tech tank. I don't really have the space or finance for a lot of the fancier gear. Are those shipped directly from China?

I don't think your evo 120 is same as the link provided by the op. yours is 119 leds comparing to the op's are 112 leds. evo from reefkoi is warranteed in usa but the op's link is not. they may be from the same source but they are definitely not same light base on the website information.
