Not much on the net about these fixtures. My lfs has been selling them for over a year now. They seem to be well constructed. My lfs also said that the bulbs are not the greatest as stock bulbs. They should be switched out after about 6 months. I just today purchased a SolarmaxH.O. 220 20" for a 10g nano I am setting up. For 65.00 I can't go that wrong even if it is not that good.

I bought them and had to get 4 warranty replacements. the internal timers would break and the lights would flash like a strobe light.

the first replacement was because the moonlight stopped working on day 2
the second was the stobe light issue
third was the display started flashing random characters followed by the strobe light issue
and the 4th and final replacement i sold the day I got it for a huge loss.

PM me your e-mail I have a video somewhere that shows the problem.
