Nano lighting

[RSK2785]

im working on putting together a mr aqua 25 cube and trying to decide what type of lighting to go with, been considering leds, could anyone tell me how many par 38 bulbs it would take to cover 18"? (varies based on optics obviously) or if there is something better? not sure what others have used on theirs but some input would be appreciated, thanks!

I would look into the slim line leds . 60 degree optics should have decent punch . I would be careful b4 purchasing due to possible mounting issues .

Look over this thread .

Would be nice to see if you picked up an AI nano ....if they are out yet .
I had a lb mini with a 250 watt helios bulb . I decided on leds since it's a lot less heat . This NE weather is so unpredictable and they do not think AC is a way of life around here .
