Carib Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi Guys, My T5s have packed it in, and I was considering upgrading to LED spotlights both for economy and for the crisp look. I've read an older thread where people have suggested the 10w spots would be sufficient for a 2 footer(depth wise) in a FW aquarium. I'm just looking to illuminate a 6x2x2 with no plants and would appreciate if anyone has done this and could post some pics so I could get an appreciation of the kind of power needed or what an LED spot looks like on a tank. Cheers folks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie-S/A-C Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I use something similar to these 10W RGB Waterproof LED Flood Wash Light Lamp for Lighting 10W RGB Waterproof LED Flood Wash Light Lamp for Lighting But you will need a converter which will cost at least $70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_a Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 You could get away with 2 10w spotties, but 3 would do the job very well. [MENTION=10647]Brodie-S/A-C[/MENTION] I am not sure what you mean about a converter? The spotlights have a LED driver in the back of the unit so you only need to hook them up to 240v and you're done, no need for anything else.
