I do not use those particular LED, but I do use aquarium LED exclusively for my plants. All my tanks now run on ecotech fixtures.
From what I have "read", Kessil's are pretty good. They will give you the blue and red ends and given that they are reef fixtures, you will have the UV end of the...

I came back from my vacation to see some nice rare flowers and new pitchers.
Heliamphora purpurascens. I love the nectar spoon on this Heli. It is incredible. Look at the spoon on the newest pitcher. It is almost as big as the pitcher opening.
