The energy efficient, long life, ultra-bright LED chips emit a sharp spectrum of light promoting growth and color – not algae. Protected by a proprietary silicone cover, they are completely water resistant and designed to last. Powered by a 24 volt low-voltage transformer, they are linkable – providing for future expansion and flexibility. 8,000K Sun White - the perfect spectrum for freshwater planted aquariums or refugiums.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Great for general lighting, not suitable for planted tanks.
While the quality of manufacture and finish of these lights is very high, as is the level of customer service, I have found the 8,000K Sun White lamps promoted by Current USA as "the perfect spectrum for freshwater planted aquariums or refugiums." to be poor at encouraging the growth in a planted tank. To be fair they give off a very nice white light that shows fish well, and they supported reasonable growth in cryptocoryne, cardamine and wisteria, however they failed to meet the needs of most other plants I tried, including ocelot swords, amazon swords, bacopa, rotala, cabomba, lotus, madagascar lace leaf, aponogeton, baby tears, chain sword, sagittaria, and vallisneria. Even with CO2 and Flourish supplementation growth in these species was absent and over time they eventually died off.
