Led For Low Light Freshwater

[Renault]

Hi,
 
I have low light 55g ( around 200l ), 100cm long and 45cm deep, 2x30W T8, aquarium.
 
Plants are some anubias, cryptocorinas, ehinodorus and one lotus.
 
I am considering to take some LED to replace a T8.
 
I have thinking about Arcadia classica stretch or  Beamsworks V4
 
Some advice will be helpful, cause i do not now anything about LEDs. 
 
Thanks in advance.

The Arcadia Classic doesn't list the brightness (lumens or PAR).  The Beamswork does but I don't know if that is brighter or dimmer than what you have. You should find out the lumen ratting of your existing lamps fist.    Then you can find something equivalent or brighter or dimmer than what you have.  Then you can decide on the color temperature of the LED lamp (again you might be able to find that from your old lamp (it might be printed on the bulb or you could look at the label of any replacement bulbs you have).

I have no input on brightness.
 
I have 2  Beamsworks V4  1 on a 6 foot tank and one on a 2 foot Betta tank both work great my plants are thriving under them.

Not sure, I think that one 30w t8 is juwel colour lite, 11000 kelvin, redish one. And tje orher is also 30w t8, juwel day light, 6500kelvin, white one. I dont now anything about PAR or Lumens, I am new to those.
 
As I realise Beamsworks V4 is 6500kelvin, I dont now for arcadia strecht.
 
Thank you
