I thought it'd be cool if everyone could post the light they're currently going with, along with positives and negatives. If you have picture that'd be great.
I have 3 panorama pro LED modules over my 25 gallon (18") cube. I have 2 12k/blue modules and 1 magneta/blue module. I plan on adding another magenta/blue for color spread. I have been very happy with my LEDs, the tank looks amazing and everything has grown well with no heat issues.
I have one Par 38 20K over my 12x12 cube, pro you can grow anything, con its hard to get low light corals down far enough.

Radion LED, not much to complain about (besides maybe the price, but worth every penny IMO). Growth is phenomenal, color is on par with any other light source, and sunset/sunrise cycles are the coolest thing in reef aquaria IMO.
I just installed a RapidLED retrofit kit for my Biocube 14 a week ago. It's 6 cool white / 6 royal blue non-dimmable. I thought for a bit about getting one or two dimmable ballasts but I don't have a controller and I am saving money for The Next Big Tank
Pros: Really good color balance in my opinion. Much less heat directed into the tank than the stock PCs. The retrofit was blindingly easy to install. The shimmer looks nice.
Cons: With a Hydor Flo on the outlet the shimmer was actually making me a little sick! That got replaced with Lockline today and my living room has returned to non-rave status.
