What brand are those DE bulbs? How would you compare those ROIII pendants to the pfo mini's?

i dono i have never run pfo's.

the RO III are nice, I have mine set longwise with the tank. I did have them on a perpendicular fashion on the 29 gallon.

I have noticed no difference in light shadows. They look awesome. Then again i have a 24 inch wide tank.
