Hi guys, I'm tempted to change over to LED lighting to give me more control. At the min I have a Juwel T5 light unit running 2 45W 890mm tubes, Nature and Day.

What are any suggestions? Is it possible to utilise the current lighting unit with LED tubes, or is it a whole new setup?

Thanks in advance guys.
 
If you've got the T5s already set up then it probably isn't worth the cost. A good LED set up that dims and has other features is going to cost you a few hundred pounds at least and, as most are designed for marine set ups, they offer very high light level but not too much spread meaning you'd need multiple units running at less than 100%. Even the TMC units are fairly pricey for the numbers you might need plus the controller. Perhaps worth it on a new set up, but probably not if you're already set up.
