Default Ebay LEDs

Has anyone given these LED fixtures a shot?

LED 18" 300 Aquarium Light Strip Freshwater Fish Tank Single Bright 45 cm 20" | eBay

Buy 1 Get 1 Free ! 48" - 50" Aquarium LED Light Lunar Bright Fish Tank NEW CE | eBay


I am pretty well versed on LED's so am a bit wary.. I am looking for low profile and low heat and they seem perfect...maybe too perfect? Its just easier than making my own which I don't feel like doing.

They look cool, but 300 Lumen is really low. Prolly need 2 or 3 per viv for any plant growth

I've been browsing all the leds on ebay for awhile...sadly I have no technical knowledge, so I had no idea what to look for (other than color temp). So, if you happen to get one of these, please let us know how it is. I'd like to get a few, but don't want to waste $.
Thanks!

I bought one of these Pro 225 LED 14 Watt Hydroponic Plant Hydro Grow Light Panel 14w Tri Band | eBay yesterday for $25 for my grow out table, not sure if it will work, but for $25 worth a shot.

I have this exact one. Been using it for about a year on a 29 gallon. It isn't overly bright, but the plants seem to be doing well.

those old style LED are crap (the ones that look like LIGHTBRITE bulbs). They arent bright, have bad color, and are a waste of money. The lightbar with the 3w Leds looks alright. It seems to put out a lot of Lumens. You want to look for 5050SMD led or the newer style flat/flush bulbs
