I haven't used them but the auction says "but most is red and blue ,it is best for plant grow". I would be worried about algae growth. Worst case use them in a refugium to grow cheato.

I dont understand how they are full spectrum. Looks to me like its just a 380nm uv led. You can't really say full spectrum that's a load of crap. Maybe you can claim that on a high cri chip.

At any rate uv isn't going to grow anything.

Thanks for the inputs guys, I have installed it together with 20k led and yes I've got an algae problem, I do not know if the 3w led full specs cause it but am surely do that my phosphate is the culprit...
