I could probably pull a 48 inch off of my 55g and bring it to the swap.  I have no plants in that tank. That way you can see how the lights look against your fish.

Here's the difference in the 22" Marineland Double Bright and the 16" Beamswork LEDs.  The center row of LEDs on the Marineland fixture consists of blue lights. The Beamswork has some blue lights "here and there". Overall the Beamswork  is way brighter...and much less expensive.

When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

The led lights seem clearer too me. I also like the moon lighting.  I watch them at night with just the moon light. I like how it makes a shimmering shadow in the tank.

Stay away from the Marineland Single Brights.  I have one of those and I can hardly tell it's on sometimes.
