Blue Friday Waterbox 150 is up and soon ready for water! I plan on Redsea gear, hoping for black Friday sales. But that brings me to lights. I want to do Blades 2 grow 1 glow at the price, and this time of year, I am hoping for a discount or sale. Can anyone read the tea leaves and advise when they go on sale?

I think they just had 15% off on AI products including Blades. I have a blade and like it quite a bit. It was my first light when I got back into salt. I think there are better lights though now for less or more bang for the $. Thats a 4' tank right? Look into to Reefi labs or Quanta Helix bars or if ya crazy like me maybe both! The Reefi was my second light back and its soooooo nice. For less than 3-4' blades you could run 2 reefi pros and have anything you could ever want. A little more and you could have 3 reefis and have way more than you need but could run them much lower on power. Not that you'd be even close to max power with 2. Same goes for the Helix cheaper more power and in that bar form if you like that look. I dont own a helix yet but I am looking into them very hard.

The boss likes the low-profile light, so maybe the Helix bars, but they are out of stock in 4 ft size, but at first glance, they look interesting.

lol I feel you on this one. Is it aesthetics of the low profile or the light spill? I just put a light shade on my wish list because my wife complains the Radion "blinds her and its directly in her eyes". Glad I got the upgraded anti wife 360 degree lenses.

A bit of both, they are on the tank and can deliver 600 par to the top of my rocks and 200 on the sandbed so all is good!
