LED spotlights?

[sillygoose]

Has anyone used them? There was an Orphek banner up on this forum and they look pretty cool.

I used the ones from Boost LED for a while. Pretty cheap and powerful actually. I would recommend them. Got good growth for my SPS from them

Why did you stop using them?

sold my small tank and it was difficult for me to mount them in a way that i found aesthetically pleasing

I've got an LED blue nightlight I use for a moon light. The water shimmers and the corals still flourece. Is this because this specific LED peaks at or emits a light wave in the actinic spectrum?

It is probably a 470nm-ish Blue LED. Any blue -violet color will make the coral flourece. But more so when you get around 400nm.

For a bright single focus LED spotlight check out the Kessils. The shimmer on these are unmatched.
