Product Description
The Beamworks DA FSPEC series LED fixture provides a high quality, energy efficient light fixture that replaces the typical single tube fluorescent light. Fixture is pre-installed with 10000K, Actinic 460nm, Red 620nm, and Green 520nm spectrum LEDs. The Beamworks LED is a sleek and contemporary light fixture that will make any other aquarium light look boring. Long lasting LEDs with no bulb replacement required. Two mode operation allows full power during the day and moonlight mode during the night. Extendable brackets allows for use with various size aquariums. Each fixture is pre-wired to be used with an optional timer module (sold separately). Power supply (Driver) is compatible with 110V to 220V power source. Users outside of North America may need an adapter for proper outlet fitting.

There is a good write-up on the Planted Tank forums regarding the PAR and PUR this light puts out. To put it simply, this light is impressive for the money! A single one of these will produce medium light at 18", which is fantastic! I've only had this light for a few days, with the amount of light it puts out, if it withstands the test of time, this light is truly unbelievable for the price. The plants are quickly doing noticably better! I use the 36" light on a 40 gallon breeder. I do about 10g of water every Saturday, dose fertilizer on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I did my first water change yesterday (Saturday 9/23/17) since getting this light...and my plants started pearling! They have NEVER done that! It was truly amazing to watch, very mesmerizing!
I'm sure you could achieve medium-high or even simply high light if you doubled up on this for those of you doing CO2 injection and growing high demand plants. I don't have any interest in doing that, but medium light is desired. I dose fertilizers, will start an Excel regimen now, etc, but no CO2. I keep some plants with my fish, not some fish with my plants. I would personally not hesitate to purchase this light again (unless Beamswork comes out with an even better one).
Will do periodic updates as time goes on to try to document how well this light holds up long term.
Update: The 36 inch model on a 40 breeder falls under the "high light" category, in my experience. I started growing a plague of green spot algae, and tried every trick to get rid of it. More flow, bigger, more frequent water changes, really increasing phosphate levels, etc, and the stuff wouldn't go away. Many on the forums have taken to using a dimmer with this light in order to stay "low tech" with great success, eliminating the algae growth and still growing healthy, beautiful plants. The other option is to inject pressurized co2, which is the avenue I went down. Adding co2 and increasing liquid fertilization in the water column and bam, new growth on platns stopped getting eaten by green spot algae.
I still love this light and highly recommend it, and feel it definitely deserves the 5/5 stars (where else can you find a "high light" fixture for around $50-$60?!), but be aware of its potential. I can't speak to the really long models on taller tanks, but if you have a 40 breeder or 55/60 gallon tank, purchase a dimmer, raise the light, or add co2. You won't regret it!

It's actually so bright that I decided to put a panel on top of my tank right in front of the light to block the light from shining forward because it can be blinding if you're sitting on the couch at eye-level and you can see up into the LEDs.
I also bought the timer unit (highly recommend -- very convenient!) so I am able to selectively turn on/off the addition of the blue LEDs. When you turn it on with all the LEDs, it gives a very bright, full-spectrum light! The addition of the blues make the overall appearance only SLIGHTLY purple, but it's not very obvious and definitely not unappealing. Definitely NOT like a "late night convenience store" feeling. In fact, the slight purple tint make my pink rose quartz stones look more colorful and saturated! So even if you do not choose to get the timer unit for the purpose of turning off the blues, you can still enjoy this beautiful light!
That said, if you do want to turn off the blue lights, the light is perfectly white and natural. My tank is moderately-heavily planted and I can tell you that all the plants look PERFECT under the natural white light. With other lights, some plants don't seem to "match colors" with each other because some appear MORE green or UNNATURALLY red compared to each other. But with this light, they all compliment well and none of them look unattractive against each other!
If you want to use the timer to turn on the "night light" feature of just the blue LEDs, it's still very bright. The blue is SUPER BLUE like a neon sign, so I actually don't like the look for a night light. I don't use the night light feature even though you can program the blues to come on/off of their own timer with/without the other LEDs. Might be cool for people who like the mood lighting, but I enjoy natural light for my planted nature aquarium.
In summary, I love my new aquarium LEDs! Never going back to florescent! Beautiful, bright light! Plants are happy and the tank has never looked better!
