marineland double brite led ????????????

[ivegotcrabs]

i just bought a complete set up really cheap
it came with this light and i wanted to know what you guys thought about this light
is it strong enough for softies and LPS

If there are anything like teh moonlight bars strips , yes they will be. Like 2 of those lit my solana 34 . But if the are like them, they dont spread light well. I got beams of light instead of a dispersion.

has anyone used these before

The Double Brights are basically Marineland's equivalent of twin bulb T5 viewing bulbs. Not really for corals IMO. This is their reef version of that light:

i looked that up after i bought the set up
i was just wondering if i could get by with it on softies until i can afford the reef version

Dave, what about using that double bright LED on a planted tank? about 60 gallons to replace power compacts?

 

[ivegotcrabs]

would it work for a sump light

I think it would work for lower light requiring plants. You'd need T5s for higher light plants.

The product description says it would work well as a refugium light.
