Hello, I was gifted some LED strips from a relative, but I honestly am not sure what they are or how to place them.

Each strip is 12" long. There are no controls - plug them in, that's it.

The label on the side gives the following information:
Panorama LED Module
Model #8203
Ecoxotic

They seem to be a discontinued model of Ecoxotic light strip, but even after a lot of googling, I still have been unable to find any listings online that might give information as to how much light they give off or exact color temperature. All I know is they're... bright?

I'm planning on setting up a 20 gallon (~13" water depth, once substrate is accounted for) planted freshwater aquarium. I'm not planning on anything fancy, just hardy newbie plants, no CO2 injection or anything. Low-tech aquarium resources typically don't address hundred-dollar LED lights, so I'm kind of at a loss here.

Does anyone know the specs on these lights? Are they any good for a planted tank? (The previous setup they were used with failed miserably, but there were so many other issues with that tank that I can hardly blame the lights.) And if so, how should I place them...?

Thanks for reading~
 
Sorry, can't help with the specs.
Would it be possible to mount them into an old 30" fluorescent hood?
