ok guys I have 3 46” current USA led light setups on my tank. I had 4 but it seems the bulbs as they got older sort of changed color so I eliminated the bad one. So I get very bored with my lighting and am not happy with the current setup. Either the tank is too dark or it’s too bright blue I’m really missing my old fluorescents now with the 58k spectrum. Does anyone have some opinions or recommendations on some lighting that’s not ridiculously priced? Tank is 120x48x32 so it’s a good amount of surface to light. I like the shadow look and was honking of making some pendant lighting
 
Ebay ? Lights are not cheap. I've tried the light strips that come with the controller with a million settings. I'm sure you know what I'm taking about. Wasn't happy. Actually we went back to florescent lighting. Though when I get some extra loot, I'll pick up one from Ebay to see how it goes.

Yea I’m really missing my old fluorescents right now. I gave them all away with a ton of different bulbs

Look up Beamswork on amazon or eBay. They have a couple different options (pink for plants, blue and white, full spectrum) it’s not the best light but it works, it’s bright, and they’re priced right. I think they go up to 72” so you could just run two shorter ones. They also have two brightness options. The brighter one has more led chips.
