I'm aware that light/par to electrical cost ratio may be bad, but besides that what could be an issue of these?

They seem to be an insane deal and I see the exact same model being rebranded on Amazon as "Wills aquarium light" for 70$ more

If no one voices a big concern ill buy them and post about the results :slightly-smiling-face:

Look like the old Chinese black boxes I started off with years ago. I think mine were Mars aqua branded. I still have three on the shelf. They are big and heavy with very little control but corals didn't seem to care. I only kept softies and LPS under them.

EDIT : mounting options are limited and I had to hang mine.
