Suitable lighting?

[Scouser]

Hey guys, I'm finally starting to buy the equipment for my 15 gal nano reef build.

I've been looking at lights and a friend showed me these;

And I was wondering if they'd be enough to keep some starter corals whilst I save up for a fancy LED rig.

Any input would be great!

Thanks.

This looks more expensive than a LED rig. For a 15g you could get a par38 globe that would do the trick for half the price, Cree LEDs, dimmable.
What dimension is the tank? Is it your first saltwater?

If you can find the LED lights from innovative marine or Fluval for nano tanks they are fairly cheap and can do low to moderate corals. The PAR 38 bulbs are cheap and do a full range.

It's a jewel korral;





This isn't my first saltwater, but it's my first for about 5-6 years (father/son project)

I'm looking for something that can manage the full spectrum of corral if I can, but low and moderate will be good to start with.
