They do look similar but they are quite different fish to keep

I changed my lights to LEDs. I bought 3 AI sol blue fixtures and the stock controller. Overall I am pretty satisfied. The controller is a bit on the cheap side and is a bit annoying to work but the lights are very controllable. Color and intensity can be altered and there 15 timers built in for a range of options. The timers however are daily and cannot be set to say have a dim day once a week (so far as I can tell) which would have been cool. They do update the controllers firm ware and hopefully new stuff will be added. The thunderstorm thing is kind of cool and it last about 15 mins. It can be set up to generate a thunderstorm randomly. The lights can be daisy chained together and run in unison off the controller. I will post a short t-storm vid later
