Anyone familiar with Nat Geo led lights?

I bought the 30 inch customizable bar a few weeks ago for my 40 gallon breeder.
I was running a 48 inch 4 bulb t5ho fixture for it, but the electric bill was through the roof.
Now I'm running a 48 in 2 bulb t5ho with 2 blue actinics and the nat geo with 8 daylights and 2 lunars.
Are these lunars the same as the actinics?
I'd like to wean out the ho altogether with more of the lunar pods if they will cover the same spectrum as the antics from my t5's.
The owner's manual recommends 18-19 led pods for light/soft coral.
All I have is softs.
So basically what I want to know is if I fill this thing up with led pods, will it be enough to get away from the HO's completely.
I will attach a photo of the color spectrum chart for the led pods.
Thanks

Nat Geo is most definitely a rebranding of other brands. They have some canister filters that are basically a rebranded Eheim Ecco series, and i saw a few other things that looked like rebranded products from other companies. I bought a few nat geo things so far, just because it was mostly decent stuff they re-branded. It's hard to say for sure if it's the same thing in this case, as i'm not as familiar with the product in question, but if it looks nearly 100% identical and it's just a few colors changed to the "nat geo" color scheme, it may very well be the same product under this brand. With the case of the rebranded eheim canisters, they changed it from the typical green/gray color scheme to more of a gray/yellow scheme.
 
I have the same suspicion as LXXero. That they are a rebadged product.

I was surprised to come across Nat Geo lights in a LPS. My first thought was that they were Marineland lights in Nat Geo packaging.
 
Thanks for the replies. I'm having a hard time finding any reviews or info on this thing. I might try to contact their customer service for answers...
