Has anyone seen those? I wonder if they work... I know they aren't the high output LED's like Cree's or anything but if they are even .3watts per bulb, thats 70ish watts of lighting... that would work for a smaller nano tank like a 5-10 gallon.

Thoughts?

EDIT: shoot, nevermind guys... I see the fixtures are only 14 watts...

a friend used em on a fish only he said it looked nice and got some decent coraline growth but they didnt last long due to salt spray from fish and rusted out fast.

Interesting... might be decent for a fuge light then... I'm planning a 5gal pico/nano, i may try this light out... but there are other options with more wattage.

14 watts wouldn't grow my chaeto lol
The guy probably uses LED's from dollar store flashlights.
Not to be too negative but I wouldn't waste my money even for your pico on this.

time = money so as with this hobby, go cheap once, and then have to correct it down the line and spend more money instead of doing right the first time.

haha ya. a coralife PC bulb probably goes farther than that
