Saw a classifieds add for these lights that I think were all the rage back in 2010s. Are they still worth it or better off just buying some modern Chihiros or similar? No RGB, do dimming (though think the seller has a dimmer?), no smarts but are they fundamentally good?

Well the "g" sort of stands for green enhanced. Note it doesn't do much for red plants..
It's "look" that's a choice.
Interesting that the blue peak is shifted a bit but no matter.
Both could use more red for a better "presentation".
Now the tricky part is have the leds faded over time?
Probably can't see (or you have nothing to compare it to since they weren't yours) if they lost 10-20% output.
According to this the "G" was released in 2017.

Anyways a bit of "history"
www.plantedtank.net
It's not hard to find sort of equiv. new lights..
A II LED Light: White leds, APP controllable, 1 color(White) adjustable. - Chihiros Aquatic Studio
www.chihirosaquaticstudio.com
A2 601 is 28 "new" watts and possibly a bit green..
🙂
And you get what leds are good at..
The LED are equipped with a built in Bluetooth controller. This differentiates the A II from the A Series, which requires an external device to change the spectrum. The app allows you to easily set the timer, light intensity, ramping time sunrise/sunset via "My Chihiros" app.
Aquasky 601 30 "old" watts. Primitive control.
Oh not sure I believe the Chihiros spectrum on that page btw.
Both run around the same K temp.. a coolish 7000k-ish.
STILL.. its all based on personal needs/wants..
ADA's got style points..
🙂
Anyways..for fun..
Coupon for black friday..
