How to Choose LED Lights for a Planted Freshwater Aquarium
How to choose aquarium LED lights for a planted tank: PAR targets by plant type, spectrum peaks, coverage by tank size, photoperiod, and CO2 balance.
Aquarium LED Lights
The same LED engineering that powers our grow lights drives our aquarium lighting — full-spectrum diodes, even photon distribution, and passive cooling in a water-friendly housing.
Aquarium lighting is a spectrum and intensity game: freshwater plants want the blue/red balance that drives photosynthesis, while reef tanks need the higher intensity and actinic blue that supports coral. Every GoldenBuds aquarium light is PPFD-mapped and spectrally tested in-house, so you get measured data, not marketing claims.
