    Reefwerks won! Granted well above my intial budget but i'm sick of buying something for now and then realize i needed to buy more for the future!

    this thing is gonna be around the same set up as the Eclipse by UniqueLED or be a little better than the AI Sol!

    Gonna be a 48 led Cree system of about 70% blue variations and 30% whites! coming with fans housing, dimmers, etc etc etc! Plug and play!

    Gave him a budget and he gave me a system, then i gave him a budget and plan for the future and he gave me another system! We tweaked it over a few days and then i said thats $100 more than if i built it myself and it wouldnt look near as nice! So i'm paying more than i wanted, but for the next 10 years I will burn 75% less energy and save $100 a year in bulbs and how many ballasts! And BTW to build this from prefab piecesm after you add all the extras your at $1000 easy! Save the cash and let them do it for it! or if you're electronically inclined, tell them what you need and they'll get it to you!
