par30 qustions

well with the par30 sale going on im thinking that i should get some. i just have a few qustions befor i buy them.

1. what is the difference between the 40,and 60 degree lens

2. i have a 26 gallon bow front that is manly an lps tank with one maxima clam in it, i think ill only need one light but do i have to get 2 or can i get away with one.

3. how long do the bulbs last i think leds last like 5 years but i dont know if its the same with the par30s


thanks

 

I would get the 60 degree lenses since you tank isnt that deep and would definatly go with two possibly even three for a tank that size. they last running at ten hours a day like 7-8 years and are worth every penny in energy cost.

 

What are your tank dimensions? I have three over my 30 gallon breeder (36x18x12). I like how it looks.

 

Sorry, but I'd agree 3 x 60 degree PAR 30s. The bulb can last 10+ years, although it will loose some light output. They key is keeping it cool, so, good airflow around it will help extend the life.

 

I'm going to go with 2 60* and 1 40* par30 over my 29g tank. I'm not sure on the dimensions of a 26 bf tank, but I know you're going to need at least 2. par30s.
