So a random bid on eBay led me to owning a pair of these lights:

They arrived promptly from China
Not caring so much for the default LED choices, I purchased some additional LED's on ebay and broke out the soldering iron.
Original config (which looks rather purple):
Channel 1 10 Neutral White 1 470 Blue
Channel 2 2 395 UV 1 410 Violet
Channel 3 3 red 6 450 RBlue 6 470 Blue
Channel 4 10 Cool White 1 450 RBlue
My modified LED layout:
Channel 1 2 450 RBlue 3 460 Blue 4 420 Violet 1 405 UV 1 470 Blue
Channel 2 2 395 UV 1 410 Violet
Channel 3 9 450 RBlue 6 470 Blue
Channel 4 5 Cool White 4 Warm White 1 450 RBlue
It's pretty heavily balanced towards blue now, but I don't plan to run CH 1/2 at %100. My thought is that I'll run CH1 ~50% CH2 ~30%, Ch3 ~80% and CH4 ~60% (all depending on the lux readings I'm getting across the tank).
I didn't get a chance to start taking lux readings or hang them over the tank. I'm out of town for a couple weeks and didn't want to hang new lights right before leaving town.
Before and after shots (both are modified now).
