My Dilemma is simple. I have a Dennerle 70litre scapers tank to be lit with:
A: Twinstar LED V3 450 SA
31w, colour temp 6700k, 1759lm
Or
B; Chihiros WRGB 2 45 Black light
49w, led qty 50, 3600lm, water proof IP 43 has built in blue tooth controller
Both are the same price and both have 2 yrs warranty

Arrrghhh! I just donut know which to get
 
wrgb2 is more powerful and cheaper. also has better colour adjustability. ramp up times are a nice feature as well. it is also bluetooth connected with a nice app no need for a separate timer or dimmer which the twinstar will need.
the colours speak for themselves
 
I went for the Twinstar, I was very tempted and impressed by the chihiros, but the research, time and the nature of the new project made me stick with Twinstar. I didn’t want to fine myself in a position where I had changed my mind on a whim, and then have those regrets later. I have another tank which I am thinking of turning in to a low tech epiphyte tank, the chihiros will be ideal for that.
