optics for hyper violet leds

[jjmccloud2011]

Hi guys I'm wondering if there's an optic maybe 80° or so that'll fit these hyper and true violet leds or I just have to use them without any to me it kinda looks like the Cree optics would fit but I'm just a noob at leds lol so what do I know anyway I'm also thinking of using one or the other for moon lights on a 300ma moonlight driver from rapid led anyone got any experience with this thx all opinions are welcome thx in advance

As long as they're the newer XT-E-style chips, you can use just about any optics to fit them, most optics are made to be generic and fit most LEDs.

 

I would recommend against running them as moonlights. They're dim enough to our eyes, but bright to corals and fish that can see that light very well.

jjmcloud2011, I was wondering where you got this idea from. I think it has been correctly mentioned that using hyper true LEDs would just be the same and equally bright as our normal lights. Fish have a different vision, they see things in 2D and even a little amount of light at depth is enough for them to be warned. Anyways, do led us know about your experience and whether using these LEDs helped.
