    I have bost leds over my 20 gallon now and noticed a few diffrences between them,

    1. the Orphek par 30's are lighter and shorter but both are well put togther.

    2. the Orpheks are BLUE dark BLUE almost acentic light over my 20 gallon which I liked.

    3. they get just as hot over a 10 hour spam but both boost led and Orphek are still cool enough to touch after 10 stright hours.

    4. the Orpheks only come in the blue bulb, no white.

    5. the UV lights in them really do make a diffrence IMO

    overall first impression? Not quite what I was expecting but I have to say that I am a beliver. As a matter of fact I dare to say I LOVE THEM!!!! ;D ;D

    the perfect color poping/LED acentic/moon light bulbs.
