@greenstreet. Define "better"? I'm curious I've researched these and par ratings are excellent. They work, they last and they're priced right. Just curious as to how u define better? More expensive?
There is nothing wrong with those units. They light a 30" deep tank just fine. You will be able to keep whatever you want under them.Not saying those LEDs are not good I don't know. But I would go with something better.

Why don't you like them? Have you ever used them?
I've checked them with my PAR meter, and have found them comparable to a 250 watt halide, as far as PAR numbers go, but I believe they (LED in general) penetrate much better than metal halide.
1 year warranty. I believe that's about all you get on most aquarium fixtures.
Based on what? They cannot be beat
Made cheap? Have you ever seen one in person? No one is "going crazy", we just don't want someone who is clearly misinformed giving the wrong advice.
The OP stated $500.00 a fixture was crazy. I happen to agree with him. Since there is no need for lightening storms, or cloud cover, or transitioning up from dark to light, a controllable fixture is not a necessity. You can grow coral perfectly under these units.
Kphilly25...your private message capacity has been met. You need to delete some messages in order for me to respond. I'll respond here in the interim-
No. Moonlights are unnecessary, so I don't look for them in a fixture. If you want to view your tank at night, I would suggest using a small flashlight. I have used blue Christmas lights as moonlights, along with a few other ideas. Any dim light will work.
Lol lol if you took the time to read you would of known it was used I said that to him from the start.
Ok this post is getting of track. All I did was give him info he asked if I like the one you posted and I gave him my answer then he said can I find him the Ai for less and I told him I would look that's it come. Not going to take over his post hit me a pm or create a new post if you want to discuss more.
