Is my light too powerful
The light bulb I got is a10,000K Daylight and True Actinic Blue Light bulb. I just want to make sure it isn't to powerful, for my plants and my tadpole, it seems to radiate some heat I got a 2 degree increase from 73°F to 75°F after running it for about 6 hours today, thanks. I have turned it off until I can find out whether it is safe please let me know, I can't find anything about it on the forum or elsewhere on the interweb.
Is my light too powerful
I don't know for sure if it's too powerful but the recommended strength is 6500-6700 K

It should work fine but it will not help plants grow. As Eli said, you 6500-6700 for any plants

That would be great for saltwater, but not freshwater. Personally, I have switched to all beamswork LED lights. Got my most recent one off of amazon.

I'd return it and get your money back since it will not work for your plants as you wanted.
