They're very sketchy in origins. I chose not to buy them (almost always, at least) because they're based on what amounts to stolen IP.

Recieved my knock off today. Looks really nice and puts out... light. It comes with a simple remote with dimmer function so it can be dimmed in about 10 stages.

Googling on the "brand" and came across this;

"A Chinese copy of the Aquasky 601 called a Chihiro Aquatic Studio - with one important difference - it has 74 LEDS! The Auqasky 601 only has 30. I've literally only just noticed this today - pictures below, and I'm beginning to think this may be the smoking gun (and perhaps my fault for buying cheap). The only lighting schedule I've been able to use to barely control the algae, has been 5 hours, from 4:30pm to 9:30pm. There is ambient light in the room during the day, but no direct sunlight on the tank (and here too I've tried keeping curtains close 1/2 to reduce light)."
