Was at Home Depot today, like always, and was looking at LED lighting. With all the customizable lights out there, I have been looking for something that might work on a reef. I started looking at outdoor spotlight/flood lights, and found some contenders, but ultimately I decided to give this a try:
Figured with the adjustability I could find something close to “reef spectrum”. . . And yeah, sort of works. Now the LEDs (maybe COB?) are RGB, so not sure what the gaps in spectrum will do but hey I’ll give it a shot.
Using 2 of them in place of my 3 fluvals. In person they appear to be just as bright or brighter when mounted at the same height, but I ended up having to mount them a little higher than I would’ve liked, might make a bracket, but for now we’ll see.
