Each time there is a thread about LED lights the conclusion is more or less the same: good and reliable LED units are expensive. Other combinations are really difficult to find (cheap+good+non Chinese+high output, etc). IME most LED units are really difficult to justify in terms of economic saving if you are already using a T5 luminaire... For example a cheap but reasonable T5 2x24w for a 60 cm tank can be purchased by 70-100 euros. It's LED equivalent begins at 200 euros (not to mention options like ADA, Giesemann, Arcadia, Kesil, etc that can easily cost 2-3x)
So you still have around 100 euros plus the cost of the LED unit to spend on electricity bills.
But I admit this rational point of view can change suddenly when you are at the LFS looking these cool lights...
