Still have some questions ...
Can you provide or point me to a listing of the clearance requirements around the sides (how close can I put multiple of these next to each other -- is air intake from long sides or ends of the units?).
I read that these come with a good 18month warranty, but they ship from the manufaturer in China - is there a list of authorized resellers in CA who will handle any warranty issues and replacement part orders?--want to make sure that if someone buys through the group buy, there is someone local to help with any issues/parts, etc, if the need arises. thx.

As a standard rule, you should leave at least 2-3" clearance between each fixture if they are mounted horizontally for proper air circulation, as the air intake is located to the side. If the fixtures are mounted vertically, then there's no clearance needed, you can mount them as close as the wiring allows.
Right now there's no authorized dealers in US but there will be one soon.

Hello. I was referred by Kevin from Nano-reef.com. I have a few questions before I pull the trigger.
1. I read that changing the bulbs does not involve soldering. It's just screws and nuts. Please confirm.
2. What is the estimated life span of the lamp? How does warranty and support work since the manufacturer is in another country? (How long, who do I contact, etc)
3. What accessories does it come with by default? And what can I request in addition to these standard accessories? For me I would need the hanging kit.
4. Does the unit accommodate future upgrade (i.e. if a dimmer comes out, can I upgrade to that without getting a new lamp, like just change the ballast/power supply)?
5. Can the fan be controlled separately?
6. I have a 40g breeder SPS only. What model would you recommend? I was told to get the G2 170w, would that be too much or enough light?
Thanks for answering my questions.

Hi Kenny, 1. Each Maxspect replacement LED bulb comes with a 3-pin connector, so that you can simply remove the screws on the old LED bulbs/star PCB, then place the new one, replace the screw and plug in the 3-pin connector. No soldering required. 2. The fixture itself could last you a decade, the 3w LED bulbs have an annual luminous decay of about 11%, and about 15% on the 30w LED bulbs. I'm referring to Semi LED here, Cree LED has much lower %. Overall, you need to replace the 3w LED bulbs every 2-2.5 years, and 30w LED every 1.5-2 years. 3. All G2 comes with both the hanging kit and rail mounting frame. 4. The dimming module is a planned upgrade. Also optional optics (45/60/90 degrees) that will fit the G1/G2 is currently in development. 5. No, the fan turns on when the LED is turned on, and will be turned off when the LED is off. 6. It depends on the dimension of your tank, can you post your tank dimension, or refer to the post in page 1/2 to get an idea? For SPS dominated tank, you'd need the 30w LED bulbs so you should consider the 160w or 230w models depends on the dimension of your tank. Hello. I was referred by Kevin from Nano-reef.com.

I have a 60Lx30Dx24H. I'm planning on getting two 160 watt as you recommended mounted vertically and i just want to make sure that the rail will b long enough to reach? How about if I use a glass mount will it work on a tank that 1/4 recessed with 3 inch euro braced all around ? How much if it does.

If you mount the fixtures vertically the rails are long enough for a 30" (d) tank.
