Does anyone know what the k rating is on the led's that is in the dorcy jr. flashlights. I am hoping they are at least 5000k or higher. I looked on the dorcy web site but nothing.
For those who what to know why, if I collect enough i can make a nice little saltwater fish tank light.

Most likely Cree P4, but no way to tell the tint except by guessing. I'm 90% confident that they are over 5000K, though. Most LEDs are, unless you specified warm white LEDs.

Actually the LED in the dorcy Jr. is a Luxeon I. first generation high intensity LED and not very impressive.. although given the time, the light was a first among flashlights. First to incorporate the high intensity LED's instead of 5mm led's (dorcy not the specific model). The luxeon I was only a 1 Watt led. hope that helps.

You'd want a metal halide light for the salt water tank. Its looks more like daylight, and has a good color spectrum for the fish. I dont think you can recreate that with LEDs.
