LED UFO from HIDHUT

Gabez · 10-14-2012, 03:35 PM

Has anyone seen the led ufo before , it was built to grow weed and only has blue and red leds . I know it may not look the best if you don't want that effect but apparently it works well for what it was built for .It is 90 watts ( 90 1 watt leds in a circular array ), does anyone think it would work for aquatic plants ?

They seem to have pretty good wattage for the money, but I haven't seen the lumen data. They seem to all be in these god awful red+blue combo's that would look just awful on a planted tank.

90w LED UFO. works well for seedlings and general horticulture.
I had decent success on DSM in a standard 10g and 20g tank.
Color is very pink. The system I have does use red/white/blue diodes.
