Just Bought Cadlights 24" LED lighting system with remote control

[poormansdream]

I just purchased the cadlights 24" led light. It seems like a great light I been out the hobby for some time and decided to set up a NEW 60g marineland cube 24x24x24.
The bulbs are 1watt each and the system comes with a remote control, hanging kit, legs, and a lens for only $340 which is a steal. I plan on doing mostly zoas and softies but from what they say these lights will be ok for SPS as well.

Has anyone else purchased this light and what do you guys and gals think of it?

Thank you

Man I wanted to buy one of these so badly but have no need for another LED light as of now =D. The light actually looks really good and the price is nice.

Looking forward to seeing how it does.

What range of coral do you think you could support with this?

Softies will be fine but do you think these units could be used for LPS and SPS?

I spoke with someone from Cadlight and they told me that for 48", Lux/Fc is 13000, which roughly equivalent to 150w HQI. Optics are 120 degrees but has individual reflectors which compresses the light back to 60 degrees. I haven't had HQI and not sure how to compare Lux to Par. So I got same question regarding efficiency of this light for SPS. Thinking about buying one too..

Thanks guys, I hope I can support all my corals. I'm more then sure I can support LPS and SPS with these. I keep you guys up to date on how it goes.
They also have a light that has no remote thats like a pendant that each bulb is 3 watt and that light seems way to strong for me. It's more for deeper tanks and it has to be hung up only. I prefer using legs so I went with this one. The other one is $50-$60 more.

I may be mistaken, but I think Lux and lumens are simply measurements of the lights appearence - how bright it looks to the human eye. This has little to do with PAR.
