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.
Milad,

I have also been thinking about the Eshine 60W Cree fixture to try on a nano to see if I actually like LED lighting over my tank or not. The "blue" light on the fixtures are Cree 455nm Royal Blues. They are also the same fixtures that are being sold by SWC on their web site. Does this help you with being able to recommend or not? Thanks!
