The OR Bar LED Light's build quality is impressive, featuring a grey extruded aluminum housing with a tempered glass cover. While not controllable, these lights put out some of the highest output of any LED in strip form factor. They can be used as primary lighting or as supplementary lighting the way reefkeepers used to add actinic fluorescents to compliment metal halides.
