Hi fellow reefers! What do you look for when you buy LED lights for your reef? Here are a list of items to consider, and how would you rank them in terms of importance?

- Pricing

- Ease of use

- Coral health / growth

- Overall outlook of the reef (colours pleasing to your eye?)

- Design (looks like a freakin' cool toy)

- Power consumption

- Customizability (modular system, interchangable parts, etc)

- Upgradability

- Wireless control

- Syncronization with 3rd party equipment (ie. app control through smart phones, controllers, etc)

- Touch panel control

- Dimming / in-built timers

- Special features (ie. lightning, cloudy day simulations)

- Accessories

- Build quality

- After-sales support

- Hybrid options (coupled with T5s)
