Default Is Jebo good?

I am currently looking at lighting for my FO tank that will soon be a FOWLR tank by next week. I was wondering if a 36" jebo would be good for the tank. JEBO Aquarium - Power Compact Lights 110 watts 36in thats what i'm looking at right now. Later i am thinking of adding a few SPS corals too. as of right now i have 2 cheap 36" aqua-glo lights 30W 18k. any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

I'd steer clear of Jebo units. They have gotten better then they used to be, but their quality is still way down their.

As for what type of lighting, I'd go with either MH or (HO or VHO)T5 lighting if you plan on keeping SPS in the future. Standard (T12) VHO is going out of style and PC lighting is too weak for all but the smallest tanks for housing most SPS corals.
