    while looking for new lights for my biocube, I stumbled upon the par38s. I was wondering if anyone has has experience with these, or know much about them. I'm not looking for style I'm looking for performance

    I've seen youtube clips of them, and they seen to have a "spot light" affect. I figure i'm only lighting a 14gal bio cube so hang it up a little higher and the spot lighting shouldnt be bad. I want to be able to grow some corals but I didn't know if it was strong enough.

    If you're looking for a mount, this one looks nice:

    They make bulbs too, but I haven't really compared the specs on them.

    I ordered the LEDwholesale par38... Is worse then the lights I have on it. I don't even get a spotlight affect. Not sure if I should try another brand or what.
