0.5 watt per led? I'm no expert but I suspect you won't get the penetration.

You bought the lights from a store? I'd put money on him talking you into it...

.5w per LED is ridiculous. A waste of time/money. It's a good thing you have that cfl in there to make up for it. Quality lights run around 1.5-1.6 watts per LED minimum. Can I ask how much you paid for the two lights?
