Has anyone tried these lights?

one other thing the design to hang this thing is a joke! they give two i hooks. so of course if the cords pull on it at all it will slant on you :-( had to mount the cords to the wall to keep the light level

I have taken a solid state electronic devices class here at U of I (one of the hardest classes I have taken), and the wave-length of light emmited by the LED depends on the energy band gap of the semiconductor. By mixing different semi-conductors together, and by having them in different lattice patterns, virtually any bandgap energy is possible. There has been a lot of research in this area lately, and I definately see it as being the future of lighting. The biggest cost is the making of the semiconductor, since it is not usually silicon, there are not huge factories dedicated to making the correct mixtures in the right crystal form. I just wish I could find a way to make them cheaper.

So, anyone sell these locally?

 

[bignick]

Sho Tank has a sign up that he can get them i believe.

 

[BlakDuc]

Beyond the Reef can get them also.

My work has the largest one they make. I belive the 6ft'r. Go Fish Aquariums. Was ordered for one of our clients.

They have one on display at beyond the reef, Ive heard theyll show it off if you ask them about it.

I've heard good feedback from a couple people that are using them: lps / sps... even clams. Need a tank upgrade soon, just waiting till the LED technology is a touch more affordable
