I am considering a LED (Moon, sunrise and lightning) simu. Is there any other difference than that the bar is long and the spot short?

Do they both have equal leds and lumen?

I have a 200 x 60 x 60 planted tropical tank. I prefer the spot because it seems to have a more concentrated beam and takes a lot less space under the hood.

Price is the same too.....

O, and is there an estimate on the life expectancy of these leds?

I do have the spot at a 80x35x40 opened tank and a bar at a 130x60x70 (MP W1 edition) tank. it wouldnt be possible to mount the spot at the closed 130x60x70 tank and the spot is shining at a smaller area. I think the spot is brigther, maybe because the luminated area is smaller.
the bar takes less place under the hood!

and brightness and life expectancy are the same (blue/white about 50.000h at 100% power, red/orange nearly unlimited)
