Anyone tried LED Wholesalers?

I have used their blue 390-430nm bulbs with good results on easy soft corals and on rock anemones with good results. I have not used their white LED's due to the low Kelvin rating (I have used on on a macro tank). Here is a link to a blue and white LED panel. They also have an all white panel that is a little higher Kelvin than this panel. (7k I think is their brightest bulb at 1watt)

Sure to be good for freshwater planted tanks and refugiums, but lower light coral only light source?

Maybe for a shallow nano, not more than 12" deep.

I was going to try a ten gallon with 2- 20 watt screw in Coralife 50/50s. Then I saw this and thought I already have their blue spot light with 12 390-420nm bulbs which is incredibly bright.

The unit they have is 12" wide also.

It would be an expensive macro tank if these LED's don't work on mushrooms which I plan to use in the 10 nano. With rockwork I could of course get the corals higher, but I do not know if more of the same Kelvin rating is enough if the K ratings is too low to begiin with.

I have had mushrooms in behind rocks for months and they lived, so....
