I came upon this item selling in hardware store. It comes with 3W LED x3 per unit. Anyone who has tried this can give us review?

The way i read the 3W is total power consumption 3W which means is 1W per LED..

Not sure if I am correct..

Yes, is 1w per led, is selling S$26.90, don't waste your $$ here, buy online from DealExtreme only US$9.01, free shipping.

Go Ebay can get S$5-6 per unit including shipping...

I bought 1 for my reading light a few months ago.

Don't think the par is enough for corals, unless you keeping low light corals.

You're right. They're spot lights. The spread depends on the lens. Comparatively, even aquarium LED fixtures have a number of LEDs spread out over the panel for even coverage.

These off the shelf LED bulbs are more white than blue, & are probably more suitable for growing chaeto in the sump. For those whose interested in DIY, you'd want to test out the bulb 1st for its intensity & coverage at the shop before buying. Plus you need to supplement it with T5 blue.
