Hello,

I'd like to open up a discussion about the new assembled fixture that Rapid LED is offering. I recently came across the first generation Onyx fixture that looks fairly promising in both specs, price and company reputation. I've listed what I feel are the Pros and Cons below and since I'm no expert, I'd like to hear from others. I'm in the very beginning stages of a slow tank build and honestly I'm torn between T5/MH and LEDs. I'd go LED's in a heartbeat, but only if could find a reputable manufacture at a reasonable price.

Here's the link: http://www.rapidled.com/onyx-by-rapid-led/

Pros:

Reputation
Price ($279 retail) which includes the hanging kit!
3w to 5w Cree LEDs (Blues and Whites)
Added Spectrum
Built In Fan

Cons:

Not dimmable (Possible deal breaker for me, but I have the room to hang them high)
Not controllable (Personally don't care, but I know this is a deal killer for many)

Thanks!
