Looking for some led light advice i currently have 3 ai prime 16HD on my tank
Was looking into getting these
Off Amazon but not sure if they have a morning to night schedule where it ramps up slowly
Or is it just on and off type
Anyone try these?

Not sure about that one. The ones I have from Amazon said it had a dawn to dusk light cycle. what the description failed to state was you need to program it manually in the app; time and percent of color spectrum.

If you scroll half way down the page you will see that light requires a timer to dial it in completely with a full on ramp up cycle. I run the 100w version and honestly have no complaints but I dont use the controller.
I just turned mine and off with a timer.

Take a look at noo-psyke as an alternative to some of the mainstream equipment like ecotech, AI, etc.
I did pick up the noo-psyke k7 about 6 months ago and have used it without any issues.
the only thing about it is that the interface isn't as user friendly as some of the major brands, which I think with this nicrew one you posted as well, would be probably worst or none

I’m using a noo psyche k7 for a few months now and I like it. Replaced a prime 16. This one is much better. I’ve heard good things about the nicrew.

Ahhh no a big deal 40$ for a controller to control ramp up that’s not bad their also look like their producing major par

yeah they put out good par, however I also run a Noopsyche light and man do those things put out major par lol.

The Noop interface is terrible but once its set you just walk away and its done.

What you say noop is better or kinda the same

I use the K7 Mini from Noopsyche and it puts out more Par than an AI Prime 16HD by a lot. I also tend to like the coloring a lot better but that also could be due to the fact that I don't use the controller for the Nicrew so I can only adjust in 20% increments.

Run both Nicrew on programmer, which wasn't too bad, and a K7 set on a on/off timer.
Both work very well.
Either puts out more PAR than my Radion 6s, and I'd argue they seem to work just as well.
