Just as an FYI to you and everyone purchasing LEDs on ebay. Watch this youtube video, not saying its all fixtures, but this is why approvals were created.

PS, I am still thinking about buying a few of the fixtures in the video to light up my house, a fire in the grass in the winter shouldn't hurt anything.

So, after a couple days of using these:

I LOVE the blue lights on the 1st dimmer
I don't like the white lights as much on the 2nd dimmer

I could have chose a custom bulb set-up but decided to go with the recommended bulb ratio which is:
Dimmer 1 ratio - 460:450:430=8:15:4
Dimmer 2 ratio - Cool White 10000K:520:660=22:2:4

I definitely would've decreased the 10000k whites and replaced them with more royal blues. I find the white light really drowns out the tank. I run the blues on full and the whites about 10% and it looks good.

-They are 90 degree optics so the light spread is great (no spotlighting)
-Each unit has 3 (PC style) fans and run super cool, even on full

All in all I'm really happy with the purchase, especially considering the $
