Aliexpress led bars

XHO stand for high output , what do you mean

XHO is the name of Reef Brite's light bar. The blue version uses what appears to be all the same color diodes, 450 or 470 maybe. I'm asking if the AliExpress all 470nm diode light bar looks like an XHO?

Did anyone try the new version that now has Bluetooth and dimmable features for these bars?

If they answer you'll see it right here. I was hoping someone with experience with both would chime in.

If you want to mimic an orphek then having popular grow add some 450 and 420 nm LED's would do the trick. I added them myself to my 470nm bar as I am handy with a soldering iron. If you are going for spectrum matching of a blue plus then Quanta reef would be the best bet. Cheaper than orphek or reefbrite in most cases and if not you get full spectrum analysis. They publish the spectrum for all there lights. No guessing or owning a spectrometer to get the info!

Is solid 470 similar to an XHO in color?

the reefbrite XHO is closer to a 450nm peak. I think they have 450nm LED's only. So close but a little more purple ish.
