Opinions please!! LED question

[oscadoob]

Hi guys i currently have a jewel trigon 350 with standard 2 sets of t5s 100cm and 50cm (approx) but im looking to upgrade to led for a mixed reef. Im looking at the TMC v2 iLumenAir 1200 216w 800mm do you think with a mounting bracket it will provide sufficient lighting to the whole tank or will i need an additional smaller fitting to replace the smaller row of t5s.. any advice and experiences are appreciated

Thanks

A popular choice are the taotronics led panels. Cheap and cover a 2 ft range that can support anything photosynthetic your heart could desire.

The TMC light unit is shocking in my opinion the setup is far from easy as my brother inlaw has 2 of them light is not brilliant and my Maxspect Razor R420R lights blow the TMC's out of the water in my opinion you would be disappointed with them.

Thanks for the opinions i have been l looking at both the maxspect and tmc light units in my lfs. You can see the difference in quality but as the r420r is another £300 ontop of the price i can get the tmc for i cant justify paying it. Ive opted for the TMC and to be honest i found the setting up pretty straight forward. I can agree that the maxspect is a better unit but im made up with the tmc 1200 seems really good quality and for softies and lps should be more than sufficient. Even my first coral a £5 zoa which I got as a bit of a tester looks pretty amazing at night.. its always been brown and ugly under t5s

As long as you are happy with them that is all that matters
