I am looking to purchase a luminaire for my new 36x19x20" braceless tank.
I was wondering if LED technology has progressed to a stage where it is worth considering over the conventional T5 setups ?
I can see there are quite a few pro's to having LED units such as:-
No requirement to change bulbs regularly
Initial costs offset over time (because of above)
Less heat generated
Lower running costs
Shimmer effect (not sure if this is desirable or not in a planted tank)
Anybody have any experience or thoughts on this?
Thanks!
