You can unscrew them.

Seemed tough to unscrew and didnt want to force it much. I see they have a nut on the inside.
I've done it on my reef breeders I think they are the same case. You have to unscrew the entire top. Pull the top off. Don't pull to hard therr are wired connected. Mark all the harnesses so you know which goes were. Pull the harnesses apart. There's a bolt on the under side holding it in. With pliers and a adjustable take it off.

Hopefully Rick keeps the sale prices going for a little longer have been going back and forth between the photon 24" and getting 2 of the dm165e's for my 40b project. I have finally decided on the 165e's and will be getting them hopefully within the week

I know there has been a lot of discussion about issues a few individuals have had with Reef Radiance and the DM-165P+. I just wanted to share my experience with Rick and the Reef Radiance team. I hope this will help anyone that has read some of the negative comments and are on the fence about purchasing led lights from them. I am currently a customer who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his new led lights. Although it is taking a little longer to receive what I ordered, I will be more than happy to wait for such a highly recommended light. Even though I have personally not dealt with the Apple APP issue, I am happy that Rick, his team, and individuals on this forum have worked tirelessly to get a working app for those of us who are waiting. With all new technology there are bound to be bumps in the road and Rick and his team have had their fair share of bumps, which really appeared to be out of their control (Production falling behind and Apple changing the IOS). I know from personal experience that even the higher priced led lights have issues from time to time. I currently have a co-worker who has two nice radions that he has had for about a year that he cannot use because the fans have stopped working. He is looking at almost 500.00 dollars in repairs to get his lights working again. I guess that is what really helped me decide to purchase lights from Rick. I have emailed Rick on several occasions before my purchase and I had an answer that day or early the next day. I was very impressed with the amount of time and effort that Rick spent explaining options, warranties, and different setup configurations. Yesterday I contacted Reef Radiance through their website to see if I could get any updates on anticipated delivery dates. I was contacted by Rick within three hours by phone to explain that the lights were being shipped from over seas and they were hoping to ship them out either Monday or Tuesday. Now that is service in my book. These lights appear to be an amazing light at a price point that a new reef keeper can afford. I have enjoyed the customer service and experience that I have had so far with Reef Radiance, and wish Rick and his team all the best luck in all he new lights that they have in development.

Hi Tudamxm,
We just upgraded our entire line - focusing on the 4 main lights you see now on the website - the PROSTAR and the PROSTAR + and the STARFIRE AND THE STARFIRE GENESIS. With these four lights we now have provided a light for almost any customer with almost any lighting need. Are you looking for a DM-165P+ - if you are you would purchase the STARFIRE - same light with sync function.
We will be rolling this out on R2R in the next week or so - with all the details.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

seems to me the prostar looks like this exact light, http://www.ebay.com/itm/SunSpect-2p...ll-Spectrum-/281627926932?hash=item4192552194 Only ebay sells it for way cheaper. they are the same led layout and everything.
The starfire on the other hand seems to be the previous 165e with a higher price tag.
Whats going on ?

Hi Reef_a_holiks,
I don't know the components on the ebay light - we don't sell lights on ebay - only on our site. I don't know what power supplies or leds or any of the other components used in the ebay light so I cannot make that comparison. We have been selling the PROSTART for almost two years and discontinued it when the price went up - now we are getting a better price so we are selling it again. The PROSTAR + is upgraded to allow it to connect to an Apex controller - this option is not available elsewhere.
Not sure where you got your data on the STARFIRE - it is actually based upon the DM-165P+ and has the additional feature of being able to be synced when you buy multiples and costs $30 less than the P+ - and has free 120 degree optics. A better light with more features - and costs $30 less.
We are rolling out 4 new lights that costs less and offer more - that is what's up.

The old P model was controllable with a smart phone and not any controller.

Hi Eric,
Nope - if you saw me there last year - you saw me on crutches from a skateboard wipeout. Yep a skateboard. So this year the doctor said not a good idea to stand for three days at the show. So I did not go - however we had a booth - [HASHTAG]#512[/HASHTAG] - manned by the people from Seneye. Did you get a chance to drop by?

Without reading 105 pages, does anyone have feedback on white/blue settings for best color and growth? I have a 93 cube mixed reef with lots of LPS and getting more and more into SPS. Right now I am running 65% blue and 35% whites. I have (2) DM-165E lights over the tank.

I bought some of the -155e from Rick about 2 years ago. The blue channels went out of one of the lights. Sent Rick an email asking if he knew of a fix, knowing the lights were no long under warranty. I get a respond back saying fill out a on-line form. I did this and waited a week or so and emailed him again, and again. Still have no answer. I replace my lights with T%'s and coral growth has taking off. I really like the light not bashing them but customer service after the sale really sucks.
I asked about repair changes so maybe I could get the one light fixed so I could sell as a pair and it's been several weeks no and they have still not got back to me yet. I do not like witting negativity about a company, but their support after the sale leaves a lot to be desired.
I have one fully working 155E and one that the whites work, but not the blue. If anyone is interested in buying them hit me up.

Hi Robb,
In truth your email is a bit different from what happened. You emailed us on 2/8 and i emailed you on the same day. Then you emailed us next on the 14th and i responded on the 16th. You emailed us on the 17th saying you had replaced the lights. I read this line and assumed you were done. In the same email - you asked for a repair quote and i did not read that. As my kids say - that is my bad.
I apologize for missing that.
Rick
