what would you recommend as the ideal set up as far as blue or white LED's? I crrently have 1 blue one and I was thinking 2 more blue and 2 white. TY!

One white goes a long way I think, I have it so it is all blue to show off the glow but I have a whole other set of lights for daylight.

I have fish and soft corals. My config is 1 white and 4 blue. This was also the recommendation of my local aquarium store.

i tried that and i thought it was too white. i took one white and 4 blue. i think that is too whit also. i have not just used blues, so i don't know what that would look like. that said its what look you are looking for. for me i think i would go all blue.

If you have coral that glows under the LED then I would recommend going with no whites and all blues. I had 1 white and 4 blues and wasn't happy with the color pop from my acan and blasto.

You need separate led drivers for different colors. If you get two ir remote controlled drivers you can control both separately with the same remote

It is more pure white. I know what you mean by the yucky blue color. Seems like the newer LED 's are going more white. This is a great light. It's on the smaller side; but puts out good light..Worth buying. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the on off switch location. Kind of difficult to turn on or off. Go for it! You will be happy.

I was looking at these for my daughter, different brands and shops. The AquaSun kind sold at Petco have modules with 4 white and 2 blue LEDs per module and are changeable; their videos shows a 4 white/2 red LED module for plants. However I haven't found where you can buy the red modules... Probably too new for that yet? If what you have now is still working I would wait and see what comes out by the end of this year. If you have a lot of plants in good shape you DON'T want to risk losing them.

Hello and thank you for your question as i would be happy to answer:The lights on this new solar underwater light show model have the newest and brightest LED's. i would start off with 1 unit and see how well it works for you depending on your preference. Feel free to contact us anytime at fxg@game-group.com

Yes I currently use a LED bulb on my set up. It works perfectly. I also used a CFL for a while but switched to LED for efficiency.

There are no white leDs. The thre colors can create white when they are all on

I've had the TT-AL09 120w for over a year now that has just the blues and whites. I agree with GCO and definitely look at a full spectrum fixture if you will have light hungry corals. I hope TaoTronics considers building a full spectrum light again.

There are three LEDs color lights: yellow, blue and red. There is switch that allow you to set the lights to yellow only or colors only. These alternate from yellow, to blue and then red. They are great lights!

I would put no more than 30ft of 3528 LEDs at 60 LEDs per meter. I personally limit it to 16ft so the power supply doesn't get too warm.

I really don't understand your question. The LEDs won't give you enough light for normal lighting. You should use the white and blue Florescent together for plant growth and day time lighting. I only use the LEDs for a night light.

there is only 1 color. if you buy the black version, the LEDs are red. if you buy the white version, the LEDs are blue.

look for Buck Block at LED Supply. This big boy will supplement your 36volt supply to provide the constant current drive these LEDs need to stay happy. Be aware you will need a humongous heat-sink or forced air cooling to actually use this. And 8-9000 Lumens is a LOT of light. Most real life applications don't need that much light output. It's a fun toy though :) (Yeah, I bought one!)

The number of LEDs is unimportant. The output as measured in lumens is what is important. That information is not provided for this product. LEDs are not all the same, even those that output light in the same narrow spectrum; design and thermal specs matter, input voltage and current matter. 9 LEDs of one design could easily outperform more LEDs of another. If you want answers, demand to know the output as measured by an industry standard like lumens or candlepower.BTW, I attempted to ask that question specifically here, and that question hasn't appeared. Draw your own conclusions why that might be. The number of LEDs is unimportant. The output as measured in lumens is what is important. That information is not provided for this product.

I would get two lights, one for each tray if that is your only choice and within budget. Definitely grab a reflector hood too. Although 1 bulb could work, I feel that 1 bulb would be bare minimum and you would want to move the trays around to help distribute the light evenly in a 1 light set up. I personally use 3 of these lights for 1 tray, for max/best results. But then I tend to over do things. =) Good luck!

Dear Mstruyf ,Nice day. Thanks for your interest on this item. This is Lydia from customer service team, it's my pleasure to help you.So you mean the size or the watt of the LED? If for the watt of the LED, 250W or 400W is much better.Thanks for your time and best regards!Lydia
