A Coralife light doesn't comes with mounting legs.
You should buy it additionally.
As far as I know, Current USA Satellite which is made by same company as
Orbit and a little cheaper(around $120) is brighter than other lights with
same wattage.
However, all brands have not much difference, I believe.
