True / Hyper Violet LED - 425nm-430nm
Product Description
**Update** In stock and shipping daily
Often mistaken for UV LED, this 430nm LED is in the perfect range for coral growth and fluorescence
430nm Hyper Violet (600-720mW radiant power @ 500mA)
Combine this with the CREE XT-E Royal Blue, which runs at 455nm, to get the perfect range of Violet / Royal Blue for your corals to make them really "pop"
60 degree version of the 405nm is only available in a 6 pack
These LEDs will look dim to you because of their 395nm - 430nm wavelength which is almost outside the range your eyes can see but they will provide incredible PAR for corals.
Best driver to use for these (6-14 LEDs) is a 40w 700mA Inventroincs driver tuned down to about 500ma using a POT. If you need help choosing a driver, feel free to contact us.

Super Actinic Violet LEDs

Gruß aus Deutschland
ich betreibe 4 von diesen violetten LEDs in einer separaten Lichtleiste mit einer Spannung von 3,4 Volt. Aquarium Maße LxBxH 68x50x50cm. Die Hauptbeleuchtung besteht zu 30 % aus weißen LEDs mit 14000K und 60 % blauen LEDs mit ca. 50K. Der Farbgewinn ist enorm!! Möchte nicht mehr auf diese UV-LEDs verzichten. -
Noticeable color improvement
by Unknown – 19th Oct 2012
I was really skeptical about these LEDs but little over a month and they've dramatically changed the color of my Acans and SPS. Acans went from an orange to a deep red, while SPS went from deeper (duller) to a more pastel color. Overall colors are superior and similar to what I was used to with a MH/T5. Watch out for bleaching in SPS if you run at full blast. Really seems like what was missing in my LED set up (4:1:1:1, RB:NW:CW:TV)was the spectrum provided by this LED. Had a MH/T5 setup 2 years ago and always felt something was off with just the RB:NW LEDs. RB:NW are weak with blues, reds, and yellows. Highly recommended! Color/growth in my SPS tank is PHENOMENAL now!

420 actinic violet

Great color, so far I'm happy with the product. I use it in combination with royal blues and whites. You will not see it, but I do believe it adds to the coral color. By itself the coral colors are unreal

Great violet LEDs

Very nice bright violet LEDs.
We use 350 mA to power them -
wow what a color

Just got a bunch of those and was testing several light combinations before I do the final build. I was thinking about using these violet leds to supplement cool whites instead of the blues, and although I really like the color combo, they are just too dim to the eye to have any serious effect. You need something like 3:1 (current) of violet:white to see any real difference. However, where these guys really shine is just being on by themselves at dusk/dawn. While the royal blues just look blue - these produce a very silky whtish/bluish/purplish color which makes the corals pop. There isn't a lot of light, but that is made up for in the dimensions it brings out of the corals. So I highly recommend these on their own driver, running by themselves.
