Hello! Marine lights are generally rather pricey. Anyone ever considered light therapy lights? They seem close to the right brightness and color temperature? Any opinions? TIA!
Light therapy light for saltwater aquarium?
I admit i know little(ie nothing) about light therapy lights other than what i just saw from a google search.
From what i can see though they are nothing at all like marine lights and more like a 6500k full spectrum light. Even people who like a whiter tank are going to be more like 10k or 14k.
I also dont see any that seem to be anywhere near the intensity you would want for a reef tank.
Again maybe my quick google learning is just not enough to understand though! I will say though that marine lighting can be extremely pricey. It can also be mu h more affordable. I have used many black boxes that can be found very cheap and they can certainly do the job.
