Aquatic Biotope- any good as a source of lighting?

[magpie]

Am leaning towards the Luminaire as the best lighting and these seem to be by far the cheapest - so....

Has anyone used these people? Are they any good?

Good for what? Best is a relative term because it depends on what you are after. Aesthetic appeal is purely subjective and can't be answered. Reliability may be an issue. At the end of the day any light source can grow plants. They don't really care one way or another. It's up to you to decide what lighting fixture you like to look at sitting over your tank.

Cheers,

I was mainly asking if anyone had used the supplier - but yes, you're entirely right... I'm trying to balance aesthetics with efficiency and manageability - and just atm, these are coming out top. And the supplier is the cheapest I've found - but may therefore be useless... so wanted to know if anyone else had experience...

glad someone else is at their computer on such an amazing day. Did I mention I hate summer deadlines?
