Why don't hugely popular LED light Mfgrs have different PRESETS for different depths. I.E. Preset#1 = 3-10ft down in the reef water. Preset#5 = 50ft down in the reef water.
Wow... that's quite the peak in the green spectrum.And for a slightly 'dirtier' Oceanic-type water.

It's hard to say if I know more .....or less (by confusion) .... the deeper I read into all these threads.
There's a good reason why zooxanthellae contain the green-absorbing photopigment peridinin.pretty crazy right? even at 10 meters, there's a ton of green in that graph
Back in the nascent days of reefing in North America, we actually used 4-40watt T12 fluorescent lamps with success. The LEDs lights of today are indeed powerful, but allow tweaking, which is a matter of fashion and not utility.I'm new to Reefing and salt water.
But myu openion after reading forums and as an Electrical and Electgronic engineer is that
YES . Mainly for overduing the amount of Lights wattage.
In my humble opinion people go after crazy expensive high wattage lights that are soo narrow focused. Then they go and hang them feets above the water and put them on 30-40% efficinecy.
what the heck seriously ?
Why would you waste soo much of the money you spend to not use the light or waste the light?
Do people know atleast what the heck is inverse square law ?
So in short imo people do thigns casue soem one else do it and others do it. Not becasue they think and do something.
