Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification. I will get the lingo one of these days. Would two 250W lights be to much for a 46G tank be to much?

If the light is to bright try using a semi-clear tape. My cell phone has a led light that wont turn off when charging so i used tape to keep the led from lighting my room up at night. Should also work on the led strips. fyi, tape also works good to quite annoying children toy speakers lol

I want to change from a T5 HO setup to a metal halide setup for better light. I want a nice setup but i don't want to piece everything together. I was looking at this light system but i have a few questions. I have a 46G bow front... would i need two of these? Anyone have experience with these lights? Any better options? Im not sure where to start (nutty)
