I ordered a Azoo palm light online this week, and got it in the mail yesterday. But when I plugged it in, it didn't work, so it's going back tomorrow. Then I remembered seeing a similar light at Petco under the brand name Red Sea, and with chaeto coming in the mail today, I had to get something quick. Today, I ran out and got the light from Petco.
The kicker for me......the Azoo didn't carry the UL (Underwriters Laboratory) endorsement. It may not mean much to anyone, but I know the products that carry the UL went through rigorous tests for failures.
And no, I don't work for UL....but it is worth thinking about.
They look almost identical. Here's a comparison photo.
The Red Sea lamp/shade is slightly larger, and the bulb appears slightly larger as well.
The Red Sea's clip and screw are a little more 'heavy duty' in comparison. The Red Sea also has a different on/off switch, also a little more well made.
Foster&Smith 14.99 + shipping
Petco 17.99 + tax
