Default LED Question?

Hey guys so i recently upgraded my LEDs from these http://www.ebay.ca/itm/EVO-Quad-Clip...6da8ca4&_uhb=1

to a pair of par38's. i Run a 34g 24x24x14 cube. currently i am running my par38's 8 hours a day and they have been doing a great job. Since i have no control over the individual LEDs on the par 38s i have no moonlight functions. cause of this i decided to keep my old lights on the tank as well. These lights i run 24hours a day just onthe 8x Actinic 460nm mounted about 24inchs about the top.
I know most moon lights are LEDs, my question for you guys is. What are your opinions on running those 8 bulbs 24hours a day? What negative side effects may it cause or not?

I have been running this system for about a month now and my corals have finally been striving. i picked up a nice candy-cane colony when i first got the tank and over time it shrank and turned from a nice green to a pale yellow/brown. It wasn't dying but it just lost it vibrant colors. Now a month after this new light set up everything has brightened up. So far i have had no negative repercussions from this minus a small diatom bloom but i have been fight that before the lights and that is only minor.
