Leds

[kien]

I can answer only the first part of your question. No, you're not the only reefer with limited knowledge of LEDs. I have never used LEDs on my tank so my knowledge is even more limited than yours! I'm sure this response was just as helpful as WarDogs

If you're referring to the retrofit kit in your signature, I don't know anything about that one either. I have a "standard" that I set clients' tanks to which are mostly AI brand. Something like this is typical for say a 24" deep tank.

Blues (of any type) 70-100%
Whites (of any type) 30-50%
UV 10% max
Green 10-15%
Red 5% or less
Purple Around 40%

It's kinda hard to correlate these to your though since I have no idea what the comparative output is.

Any reason why you say 10% max UV?

We run ours @ 65%.

Seems to beat the crap out of LPS over time.

Hmm, that explains it. I run mine at 100%.
