[Troy Valentine]

Do any of you have any experience with this system?

I'm interested in using a couple to light my fuge. What do you think? I would go with PC's but they seem to generate too much heat.

It does look cool! and has good reviews on the marine depot...

Sean,

They do look cool don't they, and most of all affordable. I am just having a hard time understanding how 4 little LED bulbs can equal the output of a 60 watt light....

if you want to see it in person jason carries that one at Aqaurium Designs. i almost bought it for my cube.

Thank you Tony, Just curious what kept you from buying it.

I have some high-powered LEDs on order - should get here this week. They are for an experiment I'm doing with replacing lighting on our boat... But, they are THE most powerful LEDs available at the current time. I'm certainly going to see how they do on a tank too...

A few years ago I borrowed a friends LED dive light for a night dive in Bora Bora, and I must say that it is hands down the best dive light I have ever dove with. It was 1 single 5 watt LED bulb. In fact it was so bright that the light on the dive boat wasn't working at the time and the captain borrowed my dive light as an overhead light. After the dive everyone wanted to use it on subsequent dives. The spectrum is beautiful a true 10k

the whether i needed it vs the price tag option.

as soon as i left i regretted not buying it. iirc, he is at or about the same price as marine depot, maybe even a little cheaper
