I’ll try to get a good picture tomorrow. They are bright they about light but a whole room

Brightness to our eyes doesn't matter....it's more about spectrum. If it is actually made for corals I would guess it is okay but curious nonetheless.

Only have the one light on for now I have more

You'll wanna add a blue strip (or two) to that....or replace it, at your discretion.

I’ll ask tomorrow what brand they are I’m curious myself. I know he had corals before but then stopped taking care of them and they died

I do have one with blue just have to add it 

[Erik13]

Just got is sitting on the tank will have to hang it with the other but it might could work. It’s white and blue

[Tamberav]

Not sure what brand that is....it looks like the strips like panorama or buildmyled made but it's not those. Could be a Chinese copy I suppose.

 

I would hang both...I think it will so the job at least for softies and LPS at least.

 

You will probably lose a lot of par hanging them so high but you could start there and just lower it gradually if you see problems.

Not sure either, but it looks like a CurrentUSA Truelumen Pro strip.

 

Those'll work for now, but if you want to get a better fit, they aren't too expensive to replace.  Current also has controllable strips....the Orbit IC.

 

Agree with above....those are sorta made for being right on the tank....no lenses to focus it in the tank from further away than an inch or two.

Anyone have any idea what this is
