Your input would be great! I've got a 29g biocube I'd like to try it on...

There are a few who have talked about these, One person who hasn't been around for a bit jstdv8 I think his name is. Where are you Justin????

it is a LED bulb. What do you want to know?
Rapidled.com sells them also.
Great for nanos.

rapidled has their own par38 bulb which is much cheaper and is probably as good. theyre all par 38 bulbs, it would just depend on the color combinations you want.
orphek is supposedly supposed to have 12 bulb par38 soon too

I wanted to know what are my limits, if any, with having this sort of bulb in my 29 biocube. And how many bulbs should I have?
Thanks!

1 bulb for a 29, 1 is best though IMO.
SPS will do fine with the light, water conditions may be a bit harder to do.

Do you know anyone that's used either brand?
How high off the water should my bulb be in order to get the best spread?
Thanks!

 

[nikesb]

best spread would depend on the lens. at 12" you can light a 24 x 24 area pretty well

 

[nikesb]

as for user reviews, a quick google search shows many people using them

Does that depend on its "spread" of light?
I saw that you can order them with a 40 or 80 degree spread. Does that mean, the 80degree has a wider spread than the 40? If so, is the intensity less?
Thanks again!!

 

[nikesb]

yes, 80 degree would have wider spread and less par. while 40 would have more par but a more spotlight effect.
the great thing about the par38's is that you can always add another bulb if you feel you dont have enough light
