Yes Yes this Thread Title IS Correct !

After Tons of Reading on diff Forums, and tons of youtube Video reviews etc etc

Speaking to many of my fellow Maastards regarding what there Using

i spent the last few Hours emailing Back and Forth with non other then (the actual Owner) Rick of Reef Radiance

He answered a few Questions regarding a competitors model with a similar product (wont say any names)
but my buddy Troy Valentine is using them over his 240 and i almost went that direction,
but Rick's Customer Service and Personality surely did this good Ol Texan in and im on board for the LED Plague lol

Placed the Order on 3 of these bad boys DM-155e for my newest Build of a 125

and NO i do not intend to Tear this one Down in less then a Year

id like to also Mention that if you log on to his site there is a SALE goin on from now untill Sunday with an AWESOME Price including Freight

may not be the Maxspect Razor's i wanted but ill surely Give these Brigelux Led's a try vs. My Buddy Tuans Cree Maxspect

Happy Reefing Everyone,

Stay Tuned for Updates

Optics, UL rating (?), customer service.

Nothing wrong with BL. They are not as efficient as CREE but they get the job done.

Nice looking fixture. How high do you plan to hang them?

ive learned from sites like Reef2Reef and ReefCentral where ppl are using these lights that it varies from 6" to 12" so over my 125 I went with 10" which appears to give a nice equal spread


so whats the difference in these and the other chinese black boxes on the market? i see they look very similar

no I've seen a few with optics, buddy nick has had his a while. I'm sure it will be fine my black box was great, only issue was lack of decent heat-sync so a few led burned out.
