Par30 vs. Par38

looks good, i'd go with 60degree. i think you'll be pleased ;D

 

I have a 60 degree par30 from boost over my tank. its percfect. You will be more than please with these. My friend has a pair over his 20 gallon high.

 

sweet, also what else do i need to buy along with this?

 

dude why are you insisting on the par38? the par30 will do just as good a job over your tank for a fraction of the price! you could buy like 3 frags of coral with that money saved. its unnecessary to get the par38 when a par30 will perform just as well over your tank

 

well with these guys its a mere 10-15$ less, why not just spend that? but i really need to know what else i need to buy.

 

the light just pulegs in like a normal light bulb. so just head over to home depot and find a clip on lamp or something of the sort to use.

 

no ballasts, converters, fans? wow this is easy ;D

 

all you need is a fixture to put it in. Its like any normal lightbulb but you need to be aware that you cannot cover the heatsink so that limits your options a bit, i think in your other thread i linked to the architect fixture i'm using, the cone comes off on that one so it was cake setting it up. Some people also use a regular clamp light from homedepot, the cone on that comes right off too. You can get a creative as you want with fixtures to screw this into just be aware of the heatsink and try not to cover it so you protect your investment

 

oh well earlier you were saying 120 compared to a 65 dollar par30, yeah gor for it thats not much of a price difference at all and they have two more led's i was just misinformed you had a supplier that gave em to you cheap

 

my bad bro, you have no idea how much you've helped me today lol its funny how the 38s are like 30$ cheaper but the 30s are 20$ more expensive
