There are some other options but they are out on my office desktop.
The first one isn't "bad". It using 3w xr-e which is about 3 years old. It also doesnt say what bins they are so you probably going to end up with the less powerful bins. Also doesn't say what the blue is.

The second one is bad. 1w LEDs arent for sw tanks and they especially arent for deeper tanks as they will have a harder time penetrating water even with optics compared to a 3w with optics.

I haven't seen anything good on 1w LEDs on sw.


You want xm-l whites. Xp-e royal blues. These are 3w latest LEDs that are the most efficient.
