Too much light?
Hi,
I just want to know if there is such a thing as too much light? I found this awesome LED on ebay for $10. I purchased it and put it on a heat sink. It is REALLY bright. I think it is rated at 850 lumen.
I will show you a comparison.
This is the Fluval Chi with stock lighting. Yeah, they are small LED's, but the tank is pretty well lit. It is not too hard on the eyes, although it still is not as bright as I would like.
This is the Edge. I have added the LED I purchased. It is ONLY the one high powered LED. If you go too close to the tank, it is VERY bright. Almost hard to look at.
This is them side by side. As you can see, there is an insane amount of light coming from the edge.
Now I understand the sun is really powerful. Does that mean that this little LED should be okay?
Cheers!
