Led are also gushed by the "NM" NEWTON METER, spectrums. A 660nm is dark red, a 453nm is acetic blue, the UV spectrum is from 100nm thru 400nm.
Kelvin. 5000k or 20,000k is how bright white the light is.
 
ok.. got it.. so it wont do anything for the tannkng then?
 
20.000K is perfect for hard tanning, but it will stress your arowana.

UVA+UVB bulbs or reptile bulbs are for soft tanning.
