    They are a Chinese brand, direct from China.
    eBay Australia Shop - aquarium: HQI, fish, metal halide
    I couldn't say exactly who makes them, but there is the link to the store that I got them from. Comparing them to lumenarcs and other high dollar pendants, I can honestly say that you can't tell a difference between the 2 as far as the amount of light they reflect.

    Have you noticed if your growth is better with the new reflectors?

    Oh god, yes. The sps growth is much better with the new pendants. It makes me wish I could have bought them earlier.

    I have not been on 3reef a lot lately.

    I have noticed a lot of new sps grwoth with the new lighting, and I had my ph probe go south on my calcium reactor. Now that i have a new probe, I am dialing in my reactor with alk and calcium levels and the tank is getting better every day. SPS growth has gone crazy before I started noticing the probe wasn't reading right. My alk levels were low, causing some lps to not be happy while the sps robbed the calcium and alk.
