I've seen these LEDs working and they are intensely bright. The light spread is excellent and because there is no over spray like you get with T8, T6 & T5 lighting, you won't have to clean your glass.

1 single unit cost £7 per year to run.

Thanks for the link Richard.

It is great that these use less electricity. It also says that the LED's last 10 years, so that saves considerable money over the years as well.

I've seen these on a marine system in a shop, they produce some mega water sparkles.

One question. What W are these LEDs? it says the 500 is 12W but it has 5 LEDs in it?

the strip uses 12w to run 5 leds

From what I read the 12w is equal to a 24w T5, but thats only from what I have read.

LED's are def the way forward. Looks like you need approx half the LED wattage than you'd need for T5's. i.e

24w T5 = 12w LED
120w T5 = 60w LED

That sound about right?

I saw 10 banks of LEDs on a Discus setup at the FoF, its the only time I've seen a very clear shadow of a fish on the substrate!
Bit expensive but they are the mutt's nutts for lighting I think.
