Future of lighting... not LED's

[OCEAN SIZE]

I want to build my next tank with these lights. Ok, a couple years off, but I see the potential.

Interesting, but gas discharge lighting isn't very efficient -- Neat that it can be molded around surfaces etc.

All that it says is that its more efficient than a tungsten bulb... whoopie. There are several light sources like this that are considered 'new', like CCFL and EL... they are unique because of how they may be applied, but that doesnt make them more efficient than anything else. I dont see anything to indicate that these would be more efficient than LED's for instance.

sounds cool to me, if it actually ammits minimal heat.
