    Ok have them in and installed. I have different take on these than what I have read. I will post some good pics and write my review of these later today as well as have the live video back going this evening so you can see them realtime and watch me adjust the dimmers. It will be this evening though.

    I probably start a new thread as I dont want to steal this one.

    well this kinda sets me, i was planning on doing the cree setup.. but me and soldering are not the best of friends... i am building everything for a 55, its 48" wide do you think i could run off of one? or should i get two units? mainly sofites and lps,, i see that if i kept the lps towards the middle, but i know me and i cant ever go to the damn lfs without coming home with new corals to add to my tank! haha damn them! these lights look great
