lighting for 24 x 18 x 36h terrarium

[joeuke]

Folks-
Want to find a white (not pink) LED bank for a Exoterra terrarium. Is there a white LED you folks use?
Should I go with 300 watts or 600 watts? thanks

Are you using screw in bulbs/lamps or the ones with pins on the ends (like a fluorescent tube would have)?

I was going to go w Sunblaster, it seemed to have lots of lumens for a 24" strip, but then I became curious about the 10 x 10 LED arrays

I grew orchids for years under regular cool whites, no grow tubes. Had good results.

There does not seem to be 'best answer' ...

After lots of research it seems the terrarium 36" height limits the choices to:

Jungle Dawn 40 watt flood (2 recc for this height)

Jungle Dawn Day Breaker 60 watt

Before I drop the $$ just wondering if anyone has experience with either of these. thanks!
