    Thoughts on this lamp?

    Not seen one like this mentioned on here before, apologies if already discussed

    What do we think? It appears different to the other "floodlight" type LED lamp in that it has the LEDs spread across the surface rather than having one central light source.

    This should work for a ATS, keep in mind that although it says it is waterproof, the rating means it is sealed and water resistant. It will be fine for an ATS , but not as an underwater light.

    The smallest one seem to be 12 W with 6 LED's which would mean that they have 2 Watt LED's in the lamp. The write up says 2 Watt chips.

    I am using a flood light from the same company, with an array in the center rather than spread out, that is growing algae fairly well. It has the same red and blue LED's in it that they claim is in these.

    Here's an interesting one. Right number of watts and spectrum and priced right for the size scrubbers that people commonly build.

    except it's made in china of course so there are typos, like "9 pcs 3W" and "6pcs red 660nm+1pcs red 630nm+1pcs blue 460nm". So 6+1+1=9. Hmm. Interesting.

    Yeah, I noticed that. Still looks nice for less than $30 delivered. I couldn't get the parts to build one for that.
