too much info for me to summarize, and I cant cut and paste it from their website LOL!

let me just say, they do not discuss models with T5 supplementation / hybridziation. that is a step backward.

the LED train has left the station, and its only gaining speed.

Sanjay is the lighting guru. I drank the koolaid years ago when he rated halides so when he speaks I pay attention. Man, I haven't bought a hermit crab in years cuz he said he stopped using hermits in his tank, lol.

after reading the consumer's guide and seeing those pics, I want to buy every LED fixture, spotlight and light strip out there.

and I thought I was drooling to buy and test every skimmer that came out, then I thought I was obsessed with owning every powerhead and wavemaker, but LED lighting is definitely on another level of amazing!

Pure opinion.

You shoulda bought the Radion LEDs from Andrew for $680.

Or do you want my old 250MH retrofits for $100? IceCap 250w, Lumenarc III mini, Radium 20k (3months old), R2Solutions LED moonlights.
