Hey guys and gals. Just found these online for 100.00 each
I would love the real deal but they are not in the budget. Has anyone used these and do you have any thoughts?

Also has anyone ever used alibaba? I have not. What was your experience like?

LuvMyBlenny · 03/05/2015, 07:33 AM

I have an account there but have never purchased anything to date . It's sort of a pain , first you have to find a manufacturer willing to sell one or two pieces, then request pricing .

Typically Alibaba is for purchasing in large numbers of items. Aliexpress is the 1-off supply line where the bulk sellers offer smaller numbers, usually at a higher price, to the general consumer. I've used Aliexpress a few times we very good success.

Personally i wouldn't buy anything from those kinds of websites.. And what happens if it breaks or dosnt work.. What size is your tank.. The kessil a160 are Pretty Cheap for what you get and you know they have good customer support.

jason78 · 03/05/2015, 05:04 PM

I have a 60"x24"x20"

They are proly Lumini Asta units that are rebadged to the name above .
I think there used to be a vendor in the Chicago area .
Best to see if u can find them on Ali Express since it's easier .

charlottereef · 03/05/2015, 05:08 PM

Yeah for the price your not going to find anything that cheap.. personally the best lights IMO for the mony for that tank would be 2 kessil a360we but they are 399 each..
What do you plan on putting in the tank? sps, lps, softies?

I agree... But someone must test them first to find out if the can work.

As for my tank it is a mixed reef leaning to SPS!

I used to own a radio controled car company. We specialized in 1/8th scale nitro race cars. One thing I know about China and the products they produce is it is only as good as you are willing to pay for. If you want to pay you can get it made top of the line.

But I also agree there is a middle of the road option the will give reefers what they are looking for with out spending 1k just for lights.
