Well, you can get the same lights that aquatraders sells on ebay.

I personally really like the current LED+. I have three of them, one of each of my 125g tanks.

On my 300g I got 2 48" current USA LED plus strips. They are awesome for their price and that it includes a remote.
+1 and this is what is on my 350

I know you said you don't like them, but I have found that the beamswork lights, which can be found on aquatraders, are very good. For the price they are a lot brighter than what I was expecting.

I was planning on using led floodlights on my 240 after seeing pics of your old setup. Would u still recommend them or should I just put the cash towards a pair of current leds?
For cost the led spot are great...but I prefer the current led+ for control.

Yeah the led+ looks great but I have to upgrade my stand and filtration first so I was thinking about just using a few spotlights for now and then buy the currents later on. Just wanted to make sure they didn't burn out on u or anything lol, u were using 2x30w and a 10w rgb right? Would 3x30w and 2 rgb's be overkill?
