Best LED lighting for low light plants???

I have a 90 gallon tank with low light plants like crypts, java fern, anubius, amazon sword, moss balls, dwarf sag, and hygro compact.

Just wondering what a good led light would be for my tank? ??

I would say planted plus only because it would be less likely to cause algae issues with too much light. I Ru. One on my 75g

Agreed on the p plus, it throws off a nicer color spectrum, you can always double up later down the road for higher light.
