Where is this light fixture available, then? I can’t find it for sale anywhere online and I am fairly certain that it is a legitimate product. I wonder why @noopsyche has not made the P1802 available through other distributors.

I will agree on the lack of transparency on the P1802. Noopsyche sent me a reply to my asking them directly about where I can get one.
I THINK that what they are saying (if I may paraphrase the translation) is that We can pre-order one but it will cost for individual product shipment. It sounds like they considered to stop producing the P1802 which is crazy given the fact it is still advertised and its demand. It also sounds as if we do order the product ("Pre-order") it will take three weeks to arrive via boat.
While I am willing to order one and wait three weeks for arrival, it should be noted that the better marketing option would be for one or more US distributors to maintain a US based stock for orders in the US.
Also, this whole Noopsyche / AquariumLowCost com thing is confusing and a little suspicious. It is obvious that Noopsyche has the name and a new Chinese company has reverse engineered and copied a product that seemed to be selling well. That is an issue with Chinese law and their own marketing/trademark environment issues in China. Take a look around Amazon for many knock off products that mention "don't buy from X Y or Z. They are not the real Bestest company for this product,, ours is much better" etc.
What US consumers want is a good product at a fair price, the P1802 seemed to be a better product than the other Hybrid fixtures out there, especially with the built in controller for the K7's, but if we can't get the product then any consumer looks for other options.

You are incorrect in your assumptions. They will be built and shipped to NoopsycheUSA via boat to our location in Atlanta. They will be stocked in the USA and there is no pre-ordering. Once they arrive we will send out a message in here and the Facebook group.
There have been many posts in our FB group being very transparent about this very subject.
There are great options for Hybrids, while none of them do what we do there are still options. Noopsyche is an LED company just like AI, Kessil, and EcoTech, none of them produce a hybrid that I am aware of and that doesn’t hurt their LED sales. This was just an amazing added bonus for our users.
Covid has tripled the costs on shipping so Noop decided to stop selling in the USA, but myself and @Manose have asked monthly to bring them back and thankfully they will be
.Once we have in them in stock we will be sure to make an announcement here.

That is helpful,,, thank you for the clarification. I was not meaning that you or anyone is not being transparent in your message. I was sort of meaning transparent in HOW I am to get one if I wanted to still order one. I was not aware YOU was the "Scott" or "Scott from ARC" etc.
Based on this, I still want one, I currently have a 200DD tank that I have very heavily stocked large colony plating SPS that I had legally gathered while scuba diving in the GBR (emphasis on "LEGALLY") then exported and imported to me directly. So I have about half my tank with corals I personally selected from God's Reef (again LEGALLY!) so when I look at the corals I recall where they were and even in some cases have pictures of the gathering process. Right now I have a 36" ReefBrite MH/XHO LED Hybrid over my tank. with 250wt bulbs. I love the light and the MH additional heat was not an issue. BUT I want to move back to the T5 "fill". I love the tilting of the T5's on the P1802 and the integration of the controller for the K7's I purchased three K7's and will be purchasing two more as I desire 5 K7's in the P1802 eventually.
Can you tell me specifically how i go about ordering or reserving a 48" P1802 from you? Thank you.

Glad that helped out, I know it wasn't great news when we started letting people know about the hybrid, I got a lot of emails with folks upset, which made Matt and I fight to keep them and get them back into stock. I even looked into having them made in the USA but the costs were just so high. Thankfully Matt and I cried enough in the backend with Noop they gave in haha.That is helpful,,, thank you for the clarification.

I will add your name to our growing list for one when they arrive. That tank is beautiful! I would love to see our hybrid on there! I never like to take money before I have an item in stock, b/c with delays, etc. I know the feeling of waiting for something and it not arrive is frustrating to say the least, after all I am in the hobby myself, and pre-paying and waiting is agonizing lol.
I've got 2 36" hybrids on my 180 with 1 K7 fixture and 3 more on the way. I am curious if I can use 1 hybrid to control 2 K7's and the other hybrid to control the other 2 K7's.
My rockwork is sort of U-shaped and would like to have the inner 2 fixtures run at a little higher intensity.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
