Default LED for FW Cube tank

http://www.aquatraders.com/LED-Fresh...12-p/56201.htm

Used to have regular flourescent 8W light on my 9 gal cube fresh water planted tank.
Got this 12" LED few month ago and my plants like it so much that i have a flower poping out!
My plants did good before as well (CO2 injection) but never had flowers before.
Nothing changed other then the light.
At any rate i thought i'd let you guys know.
Amazingly this light is only 2W or so total (!) each LED is only 0.06W. They say less then one watt but 33x0.06= 1.98 so less then 2W.
I dont know, LED is still so new so I am hasitant to buy for the reef. Just visited King ED Pet yesturday they have 180W LED fixtures (2W each LED) looks good,
Ron said tese lights have been there for 6 month now. Corals there look good and i did like the color Bluish/White.
Remind me to take a picture of my flower later.
