    Hi, any bro here got experience using those power LED for nano tank?

    Got this inspiration when i was looking for some stuff in sim lim tower and accidentally came acrossthis power LED.

    It's very bright. The life of LED are also stunning, 100, 000 hours and 1 Watt can produce very bright lights.

    Is there any known problem to using LED for planted tank lights? Cause i don't see any such products around.

    currently, led lights are expensive.
    daylight white led luminous efficacy can match current fluorescent lights.
    unfortunately, high power led run hot except that the heat is emitted from the back. so you'll need huge heatsinks.
    and the light emitted is essentially a blue light modified by a phosphor coating.

    Just heard that Orsam is coming out LED light for marine setup. Super high lumens & low heat.

    But very high cost.
