We finally bit the bullet and purchased the TaoTronics TT-AL09 for replacement for our CoraLife Lunar t5 fixture... Replacing 6 t5's with 2 of these pendents... Cant wait to see the difference!!! Will keep y'all updated. Should have them by the end of this week. 

Anyone have any experience with these???


Thanks in advance!!

I've used them. They are pretty normal blue/white led boxes. They are under-driven to reduce heat so you don't get a true 165w, and the drivers are so-so. Open up your unit and make sure it is grounded before operating. They lack full spectrum which is sad. Some LPS will get pissed with only blue/white lighting. Acan Lords in particular really hate it when they only have 450nm blue and cool white.

You should be fine with them, just watch them for a bit to avoid bleaching things.

Update! Lights are in and tanks LOVING them. Cooler temps, no extra fans to pull off heat and only thing left is to dial in the levels!


Lids open to show lights, Canopy closes to hide!
