You need to look at in a different frame of "light" :-) Pricey, yes but much more cost
effective in the long run if you are planning on keeping a reef tanks for some time. .
Don't forget these lights also have dimmers and you can also change the K setting, so you
can simulate dawn to dusk. I'm sure that in the future the price will come down and there
will be even high output units. This lamp is just a start in new forms of reef lighting.
