Par38s Need some info.

[TundraGuy]

A lot of you guys have tried the different models of Par 38s, I need some help selecting two of these to place over my 40 breeder. I upgraded to this 40 breeder for my mantis and his pet fish. I want to use LEDs so this is what I built so far. You're looking at a temporary bulb set up. 6500k CFL in the left shade and a 5800k LED par38 from Home Depot. But the look I want is more along the page of a normal reef lighting set up. The Shades I got at IKEA for $8.00 and the led x-mas lights for $12. We are happy with the way it all came out. When you sit on the couch next to the tank you can't see up the shades into the leds unlike my T5s or my 250 watt MHs. I need your input on what company's LEDs Par38s I should use. Thanx.

Some companies most people seem to use.

boostled
rapidled
ecoxotic

Some only make par30's but they are similar to par38's. Im trying to decide on what lighting to use for my tank as well so I will be watching this thread.
