That's a pretty vague question. I've seen people running extremely small leds (.1 w's) and high as 75w LEDs from chinese group buy sites. Most on here use 3w's and 5w's and voltage and power depend on the driver and led brand.

Like nanoreefer stated most fixtures are run with multiple 3 watt leds. Each driver has a limit of max LEDs and power supply can only support a certain amount of watts. Im not an expert in this subject and I purchased my lights through Steve's LED's. You also have Rapid LED and plenty others(DIY). If you don't want a DIY you can chose from AI, maxspect, ecoxotic, kessil etc. Depends on your size tank and how deep of a tank you have. Color combinations very from person to person depending on what they like.
