I remain very happy with the V4 Compacts as a primary lightsource, supplemented by my T5s.
Connectivity: The mobile app/connectivity is bare bones and I'm non-techy but have had issues with consistent connectivity by the orphek 'gateway'. I haven't had a clear answer from Orphek to provide a reason, but it may have somehting to do with my home Network (eero network). not sure. so far this is the only real draw back. As is, i cannot always connect to my lights with the app.
Light build quality: excellent
Lighting of tank: excellent, T5 to supplement in cases of large acros/shading. i really like the dynamic, contrast and visual appeal of coral colors and tank appearance
Hanging kit: okay, i'm in a canopy so not starring at the hangers, they work but if over an open tank i'd work on something to get the hanging rig prettier (alum rail, etc.)
just a couple weeks in, so far all Acros seem happy!
