Led lighting

[Deyzzmal]

Hello,

I am new to the led lighting world. I have a 36 gallon half moon tank and I am thinking about new LED system, I am just unsure as too what specs are needed.

90W (90x1W)
Size(mm)
Dia270x60mm
Power(watt)
90W (90x1W)
Input voltage(V)
AC85-265V
Lumens(Lm)
5850 Lm
Input current(A)
0.34~1.06A
Lifespan(hrs)
50,000 Hours
Work frequency(Hz)
50/60 Hz
Wavelength of the Color(nm)
White:2700-20000K; Blue:450-475;
Violet 410~440nm​

Is this going to be enough for my corals?​

Thank you​

Thats not enough Lumens for ya. Try looking for the 3watt LED's.

Oh, and 1 watt LED's don't have good water penetration.

I dont know, its weird, i dont understand it, but Sam, on her build thread has some decent PAR ratings with her 1w from what i can gather.
But saying that though, you cant go wrong with 3w Cree. Maybe check these fellas out. Rapid LED Home Page

Thanks for the info, i think this is more what i need

Samantha has the Ecoray which is 1 watt LEDs with optics. That would be a good choice over a 32 gallon I'm guessing (don't know the dimensions) stay away from the cheap knock offs from China found all over EBay right now

Dezzy, if you are looking at the marineland, spend a little more and get the AquaIllumination Sol Nano - you could keep anything in the hobby with it

Kinda like what you need, but if i were you i wouldnt go with Marineland LEDs.
Either build your own, or get a decent one, like Ecoray,and stay away from eBay also, most are Chinese knock offs, you can tell because some stuff is lost in translation.
Check these out also.

definatly stay away from the ML does not have the right amount of 1w leds,barely enough to light a tank
i am trying several types of 3w chinese to see if they compare t the crees,6.00 per led from rapid is kinda high to me,i did however buy some drivers from them 4 days ago and they still have not shipped yet so dont know yet.
