Refugium LED Lights
 

Has anyone tried these as refugium lights? 5K and 1300 lumens should work fine...

67k is a standard for plants as used in FW planted tanks however this should be just fine.

Look at it this way you don't need to change that bulb until 2036! :smile:

The famous Melev has had good luck with a 5100K CFL. A 5000K LED might be a different story, time will tell.

Pricey bulbs they are...

I'm using one of those. Just got it for the power savings. But I picked up a Zetlight fixture and will probably switch over to that soon.

Just tried them out, not impressed. They are more of a spotlight than a floodlight. Color was okay and they were brighter than my CFLs but not worth $55 each for my purposes.

For $110 bucks I could probably one of those crappy Sols or Radions! :)
