Aqua UFO pendulllum LED lights. Look Cool! but 6500K? Thoughts!

[ShadowACE]

Hi Folks

A friend of mine has ordered two of these from her local LFS.

She asked me what I thought I looked them up and found them on this site.

They seem cool looking - We are just questioning the 6500K color spectrum with the blue LEDs. PAR level - I am sure they will be fine for a 75 Gallon tank.

What are your thoughts? Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?

Well if its' really a 6500K appearance it's going to look REALLY yellow. Could that light be intended for planted freshwater by any chance?

I've seen these their more like a 12k look

Krystal Clear in Auburn has them on some of their tanks. They're not yellow at all (They're actually pretty nice, and I'd consider them if I didn't want something more controllable), so I don't know if there are different models with different temperatures. Like jfourn said, its about a 12k look.

I wouldn't use these on anything other then a softie lps tank unless it's super shallow

i have a ufo and its bright i can sustain a maxima clam in it with no issues and my corals have been growing fast in the tank with no issues

i bought mine from kca in auburn and the setup is 90 watts but this thing has the same cap of a 250 metal halide but a better look to it not dull or yellow at all i would recomend them to any of you well worth the money

i just got one and its 6500k for just the white and with just the white on it is a bit yellow but who puts just the white on lol. and it will replace a 500w MH. this is my post about it and im prety happy with it. thinking about getting 3 more for my 155 that in running 3 150w MH
