Ronnie Sweden: + It works well and give more light than my 6 year old blackbox did as new.
+ The fans works with very low noise.
+ The overall constuction as well as the organisation inside fells a lot better than earlier model.
+ The led drivers are at 2x50W, my earlier models had 2x70W, despite this it gives a lot of light.
+ The new smd 2835 chip are more efficiant, just as Wills says. With blue channel at 50%
and white at 75% it gave 7000 lux at 50 cm distance,
My earlier model gave 6200 lux at 100% on both channel as new.
+ The smd mount combined with less power reduces the heat problem.

- The light spectrum is not quite what I wanted, but I knew this. There is a lot of blue ligth at 460 nm,
but very low amount at 410-440 nm witch is importent for chlorophyll A. It would have been good if
Wills had put in royal bleu and more white instead of 27 blue at 460 -470 nm.
- There seams to be more difficult to switch smd diods compared with earlier model.
- If you gonna switch diods there is less colouroption to choose from.
- There is no extra heatsink construktion like Vipaspectra has.

Sandy: This light is a good value for the price. My only complaint is that the strings to suspend it from the ceiling were very short I had to find something else to use to hang it. Ultimately I invested in a better quality light but this one is a good starter light.

mathew broad: Good color and it's a perfect size for my 60 gallon cube (24x24x24)
Can probably do a wider tank but what impressed me was that the light is powerful enough to light my tank properly all the way to the bottom!

The fans are quiet and the adjustable light setting work well

I will be buying more for my next tank

Wit Vos: I have other black box lights, normally I’d modify these with some other LEDs and swap out the 3k whites for 440nm royal blue, green swapped with 395nm UV … but these are pretty nice out of the box. Different LEDs then the others I have, but these do look to be at least good if not very good quality.

PAR 9” off water, 24” under water

Centre all blues (%50 power) ~235, back ~220, front 190-195

Other lights hve have are 20-40 PPFD off. These are older lights though, they may not produce as well as these newer LEDs.

In short, if you don’t want to spend more then you have to this seems to be a good option.

marc audetmarc audet: Only thing i modify with this light is adding some aluminium heatsink , so it will run cooler and maybe the led will last longer . Hope so, but power supplies give s only 100watts total

BoxsterDaveBBoxsterDaveB: Really bright, good white and also blue (actinic) light for my salt water tank. Good price and quality seems really good and my corals have responded really well. I've had this for about 2 months now, finally getting around to a review!

ShawnShawn: The media could not be loaded.  I ordered this Wills light back in January of 2020. I have almost a year under my belt with this light and I thought it was about time to leave a review. I thought delaying the review would give me more insight and you(a potential buyer) better feedback. I hope my review helps you out as I put lots of thought into it.

I currently have a 50-gallon aquarium and I knew I wanted a LED light for my next purchase. When I looked around at other bigger name brands, the costs really shot up pretty high. This leads me to look for some diamonds in the rough. After doing some comparisons I stumbled across the Wills light. It had the look I wanted, the amount of Watts I wanted and it was suspendable which is what I wanted as well. It has full-spectrum white light but also blue lights. I do not necessarily want blue but there is an option to turn them off independently from the white which is perfect. Considering the cost at that time which was around $140.00 it was a good purchase, so I went forward with it. Here are my thoughts below after using it for a year.

Fan Noise:
The fan noise was something that concerned me, to begin with, but...
