Are you trying to get these for your refugium? These are decoration lights for night time. You need something more substantial to set up a fuge. Also you don't want hair algae, ever. Go for a good nutrient exporter like caulerpa or chaeto, possibly mangroves.

I have the blue lights already for moon lights over my RSM, I can link the whites to them and was wondering if they would work over a refugium for cheto growth????If not I need a light that is very small for the area behind the RSM that would work.

I bought an under counter pc light from lowes. Its 9 watts, and it says its soft white, but no kelvin rating. Am I close on the spectrum?
