UV LED strip light need suggestions

[Creetin]

Well since i cannot find a fixture that just uses UV/violet leds i want to diy a 60 inch strip.
Would me using all 5W ULTRA VIOLET UV LED LIGHT cause problems? Should i use 1 watt? Also i seen that the UV's will yellow acrylic, I have glass so i am safe there, But will it cause problems with corals? Should i stay in the 380-405 range or go with a 420?
TIA

Just google them there will be plenty of choices to choose from. Some are a little pricy, But they have a glass shield.

Use a mix of 400ish and 420nm. You will enjoy the look.

I wouldn't go with 5w because they might be too powerful. Some good 3w emitters with a dimmer is what I would do.

How much UV "power" are you going to add to your tank or per sq. foot of it ?

I had gone through the post. The UV LED Strip Lights are the highly specified LED lighting tool that nonetheless has a wide array of business and home used.This UL-listed ultraviolet strip light ,rated at 385 Nanometers, gives off UV light that falls in the range of near UV light that is nearly invisible to the naked eye. But UV LEDs are useful for many applications. Security, Authenticity, Sterilization, Forensics, Herpetology are the most common uses of these UV LED lights.
