Frag Tank LED light...(yes another LED thread)

Enjoy

That's what she said....

Would this fixture be a good choice for my small frag tank? The tank is only 8g, and less than 6" deep. I think it looks like a good choice, but I don't have very much knowledge on LED lighting systems. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

BENEFITS: Solid State, Cooler Running, High Efficiency, Dual Color Blended Full Spectrum LED plant lighting, This panel has no ballasts to burn out like other aquarium or plant lights. It runs at a warm temperature rather than very hot which is common with most other inefficient plant lights. This more controlled running temperature reduces water evaporation and keeps rooms with tanks and plants from getting uncomfortably hot in the summer months requiring additional air conditioning. They save electricity dual fold. This state of the art BLUE + WHITE LED panel tank and plant light is extremely energy efficient paying for itself many times over each year in electricity savings. It saves 50% to 90% in energy consumption compared to incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. Wide angle projection insures uniform coverage. This specialty WHITE + BLUE LED Aquarium and grow light panel is designed to allow you to custom tailor the light spectrum for maximum growth and breeding condition.

The purity and power of this Blue + WHITE LED panel has been scientifically designed to provide large illumination coverage of 8 to 10 square feet. 14 to 16 hours per day is all that is necessary for maximum fish metabolism and Coral Reef. The typical white (metal halide) plant lights that run at high temperatures consume excessive electricity, wasting money. LEDs turn on instantly and can be turned on and off by hand each day or work well with all standard lamp timers.

These LED light panels are perfect as all year permanent Aquarium and Plant lights for Fish, Reef, Corals, Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals, Insects and Plant tanks and benches. They are especially productive for spring vegetable and flower seedling development.

And, how hot would a fixture like this get?
I am planning on keeping it in an enclosed cabinet, with fans for pushing air in and out of the cabinet.

Thanks in advance!
 
That fixture only uses 1w LED's. I would recommend looking for or making a fixture with 3w LEDs. I have a 6g nano-cube with 12 3w leds and that sucker is super bright. My corals love it!
 
That fixture has come up a few times over the last little while. The price seems good, but ... I haven't heard of many people who are unreservedly happy with LEDs over the long haul.

If you have the coin for it, try it out -- if the longevity's good, and it works as advertised, it seems to be an awfully good deal.
