LED Lighting?

[bodaciousbonsai]

I have a l.e.d. on my coral reef fish tank. It is only there to represent the moon and to activate spawing with the corals. As far as using them for orchid growing I would not use them because of the low end spectrum they put out...blues,maybe purple, and violets. but the foot candles have to be nill if any. You would be far better off using the power compact bulbs. I use the same kind of lights that I have on my reef aquarium. 10,000 k daylight and 420 460 nm antenic blues, these blue bulbs activiate chrolophyll A & C in a coral reef. well orchids share the same chrolophyll The orchids love it. vandas put out the nice reds too.
