I don't know but my icecap led retrofit is 7 watts really bright but only puts out a par reading of 10, on the other hand a 10 watt cree puts out a par around 100. So it depends on the leds. You didn't say what's in your fuge but Macro algae like chaeto needs a yellow white light. It won't grow under a blue light. Venting is a good idea if it is hot.
