Banjo Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I purchased a BoostLED Mu135 LED fixture a few weeks ago and here are my impressions: I'm impressed with the output of the light itself and the build quality. It looks to be very well built with plenty of vents and fans in order to keep the unit cooled. The Mu135 throws out a ton of light. A huge upgrade over my prior NEP 20" T5 system. The color of the light I'd say is a little more blue/purple than a 14k MH. I love the overall color and the pictures below should give an accurate representation. I feel the color of the system gives a nice balance between the various color spectrums. I have everything from deep reds and purples to lime greens in my aquarium. All of the colors look fantastic. The price is a big selling point. I got the light for $350 and at that price I would say it's a steal. It's worth it at the regular retail of $400 as well. The companies communication was excellent as well. I've sent probably 20 emails or so back and forth and John has been happy to answer all of my questions in a very timely manner. So far, I am happy with my purchase. I wouldn't hesitate from buying from Boost again in the future. Link to comment

basser1 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks great! I just wish there was some way to mount the fixture other than hanging it. This won't work with the wife (gotta keep her happy, LOL)! Link to comment
gulfsurfer101 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Beautiful tank man. Boostled is outstanding when it comes to customer service. Any body looking at getting any boostled products will not be dissapointed. Link to comment
Soopa1 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks great! I just wish there was some way to mount the fixture other than hanging it. This won't work with the wife (gotta keep her happy, LOL)! Check out my thread. My wife, nor I wanted them hanging in our living room, so I made a fixture with legs. Link to comment
maxwell Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Looks great! I just wish there was some way to mount the fixture other than hanging it. This won't work with the wife (gotta keep her happy, LOL)! I agree with basser on this one. I think if the units had legs and sat down on the tanks it would look a lot better. Yours looks a lot better than some banjo. I've seen these units what looks to be about three feet off the aquarium and to me it just doesn't look as good as if it sat on maybe four inch legs right on the tank. But it sure makes your tank look great banjo...can't argue with that. If these units were dimmable, boost would probably never be able to keep up with demand. Link to comment

Banjo Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Wow, beautiful tank! Sweet light too! Thank you! Looks great! I just wish there was some way to mount the fixture other than hanging it. This won't work with the wife (gotta keep her happy, LOL)! Yeah, that was a pretty big drawback for me as well. But in the end I'm happy I went with a hanging/mounted light. It definitely makes for a more exquisite look to your overall aquarium. Beautiful tank man. Boostled is outstanding when it comes to customer service. Any body looking at getting any boostled products will not be dissapointed. Thanks! Link to comment

They have to be hung right. Link to comment

kgoldy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yeah the whole "cant remove the hanging mounts" kills the deal for me also... DIY Legs for 2x BoostLED Mu Fixtures over a 90RR Takes a little work, but you can adapt this for any tank. Link to comment
DAHNIC561 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 it makes no sense to not be able to add or remove hanging mounts when you want to (i have yet to see this design flaw in any kind of lighting fixture being MH, PC, T5...etc...I'm not Trying to DYI anything that cost me $400...just stupid in my opinion...
