Price and coverage are huge factors. Many lights grow coral, but if I can use one fewer outlet and not need a second mortgage for the light I'm inclined that way.

Official entry: This would compliment my 4 OR4 bars that I just recieved. Would be a perfect pairing.

I've only ever used AI lights consistently for my display tank, would love to try a different type!

Bonus daily question

Spectrum, ease of use and availability.
My current light was chosen because it didn’t rely solely on an app to turn on and off but has a built in time setting, it could arrive same day from Amazon and had the correct par and spectrum at a reasonable price for a temporary/backup light

Official entry. I like the slimmed down design. I have an Atlantik that I have upgraded from a gen 1, it would be nice to move that to the frag tank and show off the a new light on the display.
