Anyone used these LED lights?

The first one comes on the tmc micro habitat
Tried hc but couldn't get it to grow
The second I don't know about sorry
The tmc ones are quit bright but I think they have a low par
But I have shrimp in the tank so no liquid carb
If you dose ferts and use easy carb you might have more success

I understand the first ones to produce around 30par if you have enough co2 and flow this should be enough for hc, a conventional clip on might be a better bet till we know more about the technology I suppose.
 
I thought that amin of 40-50 micromoles would be required to grow most plants.

I had the original lights that came with the Betta Cube, very similar to these ones, they are similar, not the same, and with two lights I managed to have a carpet.

However the lights did not last more than a year, I lost 50% of the leds on both, so I now just using the arcadia lights, 11W is very good, and if the light dies it is easy to change.
 
Thanks for all the information.

Losing 50% of the LEDs within a year is pretty bad.

Pity. I like the minimalist look of those lights. I might have to think again about an Arc Pod, but I haven't been too impressed with those pinky bulbs I've seen in them.

Thanks again.
 
superfish lights are much better.

I suspect the TMC ones to be much better, plus you have a warrenty on them!
