About an hour later and my Razor came via FedEx Here it is over the 40B I am setting up

Gonna need some more (close up) pics of that fixture please. How's the build quality?

 

[BoCoMo]

It looks great greech! I will take some more pics here in a few min.

It is really sleek looking. The thing is like a giant heat sink and the thickest part is about the same as the diameter of a quarter Dimable white and blue cree led's, programmable with sunrise & sunset settings, and thermally triggered fans. If you want more pictures or of a specific part just ask.

Very nice fixture! Thank you, the pics are great. Does it come with a hanging kit by chance? Do you know if the optics are all the same degree or are some tighter than others?

 

[BoCoMo]

It did come with a hanging kit! The way it mounts into the fixture is really clean too. There is also a padded system for the legs if mounting on a rimless tank. You can also purchase a pivoting ball mount separately. I will probably build a canopy and suspend from inside the canopy.

The optics are 90 degrees

I would just dp o a DIY led system, cheap, powerful, and not very hard at all

I can point you to some excellent DIY post if you are inclined to go that way (I was going to DIY until the Razor came along) I also considered doing 4-6 Par 38's. Finally I can find out what the ebay led fixture that the RC guys are so fond of if you are interested in that.
