AquaIlluminationHydra 32 HD LED Reef Light (White Body)

PROS:* Form Factor. These LEDs are arranged in a reasonably sized form factor. I won't debate LEDs versus other types of lighting, but I will say that these pack a punch for their size.* Elegant Mounting Options. While the mounting solution itself could use better instructions (I ran my cables IN THE CHANNELS of the mounting arms), AI does offer some compelling and sleek-appearing mount options.* Spectrum. I have been a user of AI Hydra 32HD for my existing smaller AIO tank. My corals love the light and I'm only using about 50% capacity. With this larger tank, I know I'll have the flexibility to grow what I need from these lights in the arrangement I want thanks to their mounting options.* App Control. While I prefer direct integration with my controller system, the AI iOS app is more than capable. The app itself has quirks. But the functionality you expect from LED lighting is all there.* Color Options. As you can see from my tank, I wanted something that blended with the appearance of the display tank. In this case, white LED enclosure, black frame, and white stand, black silicon and overflow.CONS:* Quirky App. While the app will provide the functionality you need, there are some issues with how they chose to let you organize aquarium equipment. For instance, if you have a tank named "Living Room Reef" and add 4 Hydra 32 HDs, as I have, and then want to add say 2 Nero 5s, you have to create a separate "tank" for the Nero powerheads. That is a shame because it isn't intuitive at all. I can imagine a few reasons for this, but they should reconsider the words they use in their hierarchy.WISHES:* A power manifold to stream line multiple lights would be fantastic! Not required, hence a wish.* IOTA integration for Neptune Apex controllers. A huge plus, for me. Not required. But imagine hitting a single FEED button (physical or virtual in app) and the entire system responds by going into feed time?USE:While these particular lights are just now going up on a new build that is being cycled, I have experience with AI Hydra 32 HD and I am impressed by them. I did consider um a competing product, but I can't justify the price point or want to take the risk on such a new product. AI Hydra is a tried and proven product I'm happy to back until upgrades become a consideration.

I was super excited for a high quality light, to our surprise it immediately flashed driver error right out of the box. Sad times, back she goes for a refund and back on a hunt for a quality led light for our tank

after months and months of research and youtube video's, I saw these light being reviewed by Bulk Reef Supply. I love the price, the ease of use, don't like that any type of mounting has to be purchased separately. Being a fairly resourceful guy, my wife and I used 2 four foot track lighting tracks, connected them with a few pieces of 2x2 some decorative molding and hung from the ceiling. looks really good and almost fancy..........

Do not waste your time buying these from this company. You are better off going to your local fish store and purchasing them yourself. When I got mine, they didn’t work at all, which was very disappointing as I was so excited to start a salt water tank with some coral. This has deterred me away from starting coral all together. Overall disappointed with this product and will be buying these lights in person at my local fish store.

Just received my light and it doesnt work. Its blinking Driver fault. The first review on this page had the same issue. Also I thought it was supposed to come with a basic hanging kit. I hoped for $370 this light would be great. To plug it in and instantly receive driver fault is so disappointing. Guess I'll be returning it and taking my business elsewhere.
