Led help

[russianaquarium]

I have this 36 bowfront and am looking at getting an led for it. It's 21 inches tall so I need the led to be strong enough so light can reach the bottom... Right now it has 2 20 watt 6500k t12s on it and those just look bad. I'm looking at a price of around 50 bucks so nothing super expensive. Oh ya and it has to be able to grow plants. Any Ideas? Thanks

Beamswork DA FSPEC should give you roughly 40 PAR @ substrate, directly under the light, or a mid low level of light, not quite medium. This number will drastically fall off as you move away from the center of the fixture, so 2 will likely be needed.
If it turns out to be too much light you can have one on for 8 hours, the second in for a 4 hour mid day burst of stronger light.
