Hey all, I recall some folks using an LED light fixture for their tanks. I am looking for the ones that screw into a regular light bulb socket.
Does anyone know where I find one of these?

Thanks guys :)
Does anyone know how deep these bad boys punch down to? It will be for a tank with no corals, so I just want to keep the tank lit.

I seem to remember Jakes punching down at coral grow able PAR to at least 18". They're pretty powerful little untits.

shooting off the hip with my experience with these, I’d say
40 degree lenses: you could do 12″ square from 24-36″ away
60 degree lenses: you could do 18″ square from 18-24″ deep

You can email Jake @ coralite@gmail.com and he'll tell you his experience.

I just ordered two of the 80° optic 12KK ones for my ADA mangrove tank.

Not to derail anymore than my usual derailments, but Gresh, have you thought about or seen a hobbiest Mangrove biotope tank (or close to one in a practical sense)

I have seen several and that is what I am doing :) Tidal as well. Working out the details right now in fact.

Limited optics and colors... They really aren't much cheaper when you factor in the amount of light you get ;)

I use this one for my RN live displays...

Thats the par readings.

I was going to get a group buy together, but doesn't seem like people are interested.
