Another LED Approach...

[reefdude135]

I just ran across this product while browsing YouTube... this looks very slick!

http://www.aquariumled.com/

To me the white looks a little stark.... probably very 10k-ish in color... almost a hint of yellow. when searching the site to find out the color temp rating (which I never found), it did state that their customers prefer to have something a bit bluer in color, so they recommend adding a 20w actinic.

Has anyone seen this product before?

LEDs are coming!

Thanks for the thread! That is the first time I have seen document growth using LED and small polyped stonies. I feel this will be an eventual replacement for MH when the cost goes down.

Well, it's one bulb.... I think it's meant to simulate the coverage of a single MH bulb, about 2 feet wide or so.

Very nice but cost toooo much. Soon, or few year later new OLED will come out with much better lighting.

Just a thought.... it's 24 LEDs... looks like it has a wider dispersion based upon its shape. Total 42 watts.

Of course, these 12" x 12" blue and white panels on ebay have 108 LEDs... bigger foot print? But only 48 watts. And only $125.
