or better yet, this one....

 

[weaglereefer]

It says next to features: "Aquarium"...

Hope they don't get sued for patent infringement...

Hey Dakota,

that's the same article TWICE...

[stickx911]

being only 12" you'd need a couple at least depending on your application.

 

[crew]

not to mention there are no reflectors.. I would say not enough light.. now if you put a reflector on each bulb.. ya it would work great

oh.. and those are cheapo LED's.. not the nice ones.. so I doubt it would penetrate very deep

 

[lilrobb]

Umm,

LEDs and reflectors?
They generate directional light anyway - a reflector would maybe help 0,001%

They're LEDs. As long as the wide angle is around 30-45 degrees, I don't think you'd see any improvements from a reflector.

See if this link is different....

I think the first one is the better panel.

But I like the white and blue of the second panel.

I sure would be curious to see how much light these really put out.

I would be worried about the kelvin.

 

[dakota9]

Kelvin Shmellvin.....

LED's usually put out very white light....... I wish I had the mony to throw around. OHand they also offer a blue/white version of the first I linked to, I'll see if I can find it.....

This light wouuld be to illuminate a 20+/- cube

 

[seedless reefer]

The ebay store in your first link has a blue/white board that is 12 - 14000k

Wow.

Also I wonder how one of the red grow lights would work as a fuge light.

I think this has possibilities.

Just buy a string of led christmas lights. Their much cheaper and you'll get more of them.

Oh ye of little faith..........

 

[lilrobb]

People should always post stuff like this on or slightly after the 1st and 15th of each month - not kinda in between LOL

[weaglereefer]

Well if you do order one, you'll have to borrow a par meter and take some readings.

 

[dakota9]

getting the club par meter? isn't that like winning the lottery?

 

[jhutto]

Yep... the PAR meter is always missing in action as only a few people get to use it. There have been numerous lists but it never gets around to those who have asked for months and months...

 

[blind1993]

if you really wanted to get cheap LED's this light is around the $200 for any lenght, Sun-Brite. look it up on youtube and you see it being tested with a par meter.
