Radion XR15 Pro for sump use

I have a spare Radion XR15, not the freshwater one, and wondered if anyone had ever heard of them being used for a sump light. There is a freshwater program on ecosmart live and I assume it just uses the white led's. Any thoughts?

I am a weird and like having backup equipment around, ofc if your just growing some alage with it maybe it's not a big deal to take it off and use it as a backup when required. No dobut though you can use the light to grow macro alages. In my Sump I just run a 24 watt red/blue light for plants and it works great.

Reds and blues, with some whites. No secret, reds and blues grow macro like crazy

Thanks guys. I was thinking to just use the whites. That's good news.
