Harbor Freight LED lights

Did anybody try the 4 FT 10.000 lumens LED shop light from Harbor freight? Good idea? Thanks

I'm too lazy to guess what kelvin temperature they are and you didn't post that information. It sounds like a good shop light but without the color temperature (Degrees Kelvin, ideally 6.5K or better if you want to loosely imitate the daylight spectrum?) Most of these I've observed at hardware stores are 4K and they will suck for coral. If you find a 10K buy it and try it and post results! I've used a 5.5 or 6.5? K bulb over a barrel to grow algae / chaetomorpha and lost of folks use similar bulbs over their fuge to grow algae, and darnit I can't recall the Kelvin for the red spectrum atm because that will also work for growing vegetation. Corals need higher Kelvin, sorry to be redundant I think I have COVID again?

Edit:
I looked at the light, no kelvin listed? They are made by Braun Customer Service: Item 56780
