Anyone tried Arcadia T5 LED bulbs?

Hi Im thinking of upgrading my t5 setup to those new Arcadia T5 alike LED bulbs. But before I would like to hear some user thoughts about them. How corals are doing with them lights? And also do they really give ripple/shimmer effect?

IMo you should wait for the E5X led bulbs. Similar to Acadia, but manufactured by Eurquatics.
It could end up being similar result, but I just heard from them the new bulb is coming out very soon.
Quite honestly, I wouldnt bet on those leds as enough light to grow and color corals like regular T5's would, it is however a nice way to add pop and dawn/dusk to a regular T5 fixture without the need to retrofit the fixture.
