True lumen pro led strips

stravo71 · 02/08/2015, 11:27 AM

Went to lfs over weekend amd they had these led strips 75% off. 36" dual led marine fusion 12, 000k white with 453nm blue amd other strip is is deepwater 453nm blue actinic. I am new to leds. is that good? The transformer for them is 24v 60w. How do I tell what power each led is. Doesnt state it on package. I straped them to my quad 144w t5ho. It has 2 10, 000k and 2 actinic.

Worst case you can get a rough idea by counting the leds and dividing by 60. They are more for looks than par if that's what you were hoping for

That's what I figured

The 453nm are good for actinic supplement. It takes a couple of them though. I have used them with good success.

Both strips have them in. The one strip is nothing but actinic. They are pretty dang bright. Brighter than I thought they be.
