LED Question

Here's the specs on a LED I'm looking at:
Fixture Size: 23.50" x 7.50" x 1.25" (Add 0.65" in height with bracket installed)
LEDs Count: 120
2000 Lumens
Super energy efficient 0.2 watt high output LEDs
96x 10,000K LED
24x Actinic 460nm LED
Use 24 watts

Here's a link: http://www.aquatraders.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=56285

Do you think this is to much light for a heavily planted 20H?

No CO2 but liquid carbon is dosed daily along with liquid ferts

Pappy, I'm glad you piped in with this info because I spent the better part of last evening trying to find PAR info on this brand. I'm definately going to check that link. -- thanks

I do like the blue look. This is to replace a T5 fixture that recently crapped out on me that had 10K and actinic lamps in it

From the top of my 20H to the top of the substrate is ~14". From what I can extrapolate from that TPT thread (esp. the very top example of the 30" HI lamp @10" = 45 PAR), is that I should be good with medium to low light plants (~30PAR). That's what I'm growing in there right now.

I'm going to order one and give it a go. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks again, that link was greatly appreciated

Found this one on e-bay - would it be a better choice?

Here's the specs:

Some folks at the other forum suggested the ones I had chosen were probably going to be to bright for my application. I'd prefer to grow plants not an algae farm so I went with this one. So far, things look good and the plants seem to be responding well.

Sorry no pics - my camera died recently ans my phone is a piece of crap when it comes to pics. I'll see if I can do anything with my daughters I-Pod later when she gets home.

Anyways, just wanted to add an update.
