LED lighting...Huh?

[FrannyB]

I am reading a lot about LED and from what I've seen so far convinces me that it probably would be a good investment. It is just that it sticks in my craw that I would not be able to light my 120 and would have to settle for a tiny tank. Geez.

We will have an LED presentation probably at the June meeting, by the way.

Why couldn't you light your 120 with LEDs?

[FrannyB]

Have you noticed how expensive it would be to cover the entire footprint of a 24" deep tank end to end?

Probably about the same cost as doing it with TEK T5HO fixtures...

You can get cheap Chinese made LEDS in 30w and 50w, that's per LED so it can be done without a major expense. If you buy one retail for the 120 it's going to get pricey fast.
