I just ordered the Rapid LED 7 LED PAR38 bulbs with 60º optics
I order 3 Bulbs for my 38G display tank, depending on how blue they are and the spread, I might get another one of these or two all Blue, this will be replacing a 6 Bulb t5ho retro with ATI reflectors and Bulbs, just getting tired of replacing bulbs every 8 months.

I will get some before and after shots

Is anyone else running PAR38 bulbs ? I had a hard time deciding which to get, I went with these because they are the name brand Cree LEDs at 3watt vs most of the others at 2 watt LEDs
I was also looking at the LED Pacific CREE Reef White 27W LED Bulb but having 4 blue to 5 white made me think it would be to white for me.

Please post pics. I’m looking into PAR 38 bulbs and any other type of LED as well for my small frag tank. Thanks

im running 3 par 38s on my 29 and 3 par 30s on my 20L and i love it, i dont think i would ever go back to t-5s. i just love the dramatic look and shadowing they give, very true to natural form. good luck with them

Dang, he posted while I was typing.

I think Kdino is running them, and he says they are great. When I do my frag tank I will use them, the numbers look great.

Post your results once you get them up and running.
