Do AquaRay LEDs emit light in the right spectrum for growing corals and plants?
All the animals normally kept by aquarists, including fish, plants, corals and all invertebrates, ultimately depend on the sun for their well-being. Furthermore, as responsible hobbyists, we all want to provide the animals we keep with conditions that are as close to what they would experience in the wild as possible. When it comes to lighting, this means providing light of the right intensity, with a spectral quality that is as close to natural sunlight as we can make it. When viewed through a spectroscope, most artificial lights are visibly different to sunlight (see Fig. 1, 2 and 3 below). AquaRay LEDs have a much more even spectrum which is much closer to sunlight (see Fig. 4).
