I agree that it appears the light is just like that, probably 1W white LED's. The blue part of the spectrum is very important for growing coral. Hopefully that light has the right LED's to grow coral. Not all LED's are the same, even though they may look the same to our eyes.

As far as setup there are good, better and best techniques as well as methods that sorely fail. Many problems in setting up a healthy Reef can be avoided by following the tips and instruction located below in my signature line.

so non-dimmable, just on or off.

When these have dimmers, a lot of us just run an output similar to what these are probably running.  Reef tanks are supposed to look really blue!

That looks like the way that particular light was designed. I don't see any burned out LED's or discolored lens's on any of them.  You could replace a few of the blues if you are good at soldering. You need a good soldering iron to heat them up enough as they are soldered to an aluminum board for heat removal.

It doesnt even have on and off switches. I tested the output on the drivers and they were the same. The white lights are barely on it seems. the blue lights are so bright you can not look at the light to long.
