Well the two things I'm struggling with is the intensity and distribution of the LEDs. The AI nano is quite small and almost seems to be a spotlight. I could go the PAR38 route but they always look like spotlights. So I want to distribute the LEDs over a large enough area to not have spotlighting.

The intensity issue is less important. I will go dimmable so I could always just turn it down. At the same time I don't want to end up like others have where I can never turn up the light beyond 50% without cooking the corals.
