    LG, Sorry you had troubles with these- you were pretty fired up on them in july 2012.

    I still have my basement brand- Taotronics themselves- NO dimmer- 2 plugs
    30W, 25blue Leds.

    I'm linking my review thread- not that you need to read it,
    but, it's been a few weeks shy of a year I've had these!

    I do have only two over my standard 6ft long 125g.
    I now have the LED height (higher than the outside of the fixture) at about 7inches off the water.

    I'm growing sps great!
    I think these were like $115 Ea. shipped
