My boyfriend ordered some off the auction site and theyseem to be working very well. He got 240 watts for about $150 with shipping, they also came with LEDs. He is just starting out, but all his corals are filling out and he has had no problems with them.

if you are looking to buy one, there are sites online where you can buy them for less than that.....
anyways, ive had odyssea PC and MH. This is jsut the company that jebo became.
the PCs arent very good, but the MHs are a lot nicer! still the bulbs arent the best i hear, but those can always be replaced.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we did a little research at our l.f.s on them two years ago and the lighting isn't true spectrum...., more of coloured bulbs. More important they are not u.l. listed so they could burn your house down. The cost is tempting, but down the road quality always wins.

If you are still interested in the Jebo stuff try this website www.aquatraders.com it may be more info rich then the other sites. I also was wondering about the quality of the Jebo stuff. Of course with all things you get mixed reviews.

I have a oddysea 130 24" pc light. My corals seem to grow nicely and come out( No really light intensive except for aneneme Mushrooms, and a leather coral.). Ive also kept an anenome alive for more than 1.5 years with it. Some people hate them and some love them. Ive heard complatints of fans not working or breaking or the bulbs suck. Im not sure if you can replace the bulbs with other brands though. Ive Heard of the 65 watt bulbs they give are an inch shorter or something which would not let a replacement. But im not sure havent measured or tested. I know i swithced a coralife 55 watt bulb and it was fine.
Ive had no problem with the unit (knock on wood.) and im actually thinking on getting another.
Hope this helps.
If anyone can find a manufacter phone number or website please let mne know.!

the newst models of the odysseas do have true spectrum bulbs, and odyssea also says that they have fixed the heat problem, makeing them safe.
