LED Options for 3 gal Pico Tank

Hello Fellow Reef Geeks!

I have just got back into the hobby of salt water tanks and I have to admit I missed it. Not to mention a lot has evolved from 15 years ago when I last had tanks. As with all variety of lighting I have also noticed LED lighting has found it's way into the reef tank scene. I have been hunting for a decent led option that is small enough for my 3 gal JBJ pico tank. I love the idea of remote and timer features with moonlight and day time settings. I have found one made by Ecoxotic "E-30 Full Spectrum LED Light System 12 Inch" However the top of my tank is 11.5 inches so I am afraid this will be to large for it. Please any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!

Cheers!

i think most ppl would suggest some sort of par38 type of bulb..many options out there. But dont go super cheap, they burn out FAST. (trust me i tried them)...
