These spotlights are high PAR and can be used as stand alone lighting if enough are used or they can be used to spotlight certain areas of the tank. They will most certainly work for SPS.

So how do you fix them over your tank if you can't mount them in a canopy

I have updated the website with a few new items including these bulbs, they will not be in stock for about a week.

Cheers!

they will be good for SPS, but these lights are good for small nano's not large tanks as they will make a huge spotlight effect of they are not pretty high up. if you are going to have SPS I would get the 40 degree optics also so you can play with the oupt vs hight. the smaller degree optics the higher they will have to be to get even covearge.

would they produce too much heat for a nano tank?
