LED Lights?

Has anyone used this ever? Do they work well?

It sounds nice, but a bit pricey. Probably not to many people willing to drop $2,400 on some lights. You might be waiting awhile for a review.

Solaris LED's are awesome, I run them on my show tank in the shop from the day they were available. I gladly paid a premium to be one of the first to use them and can't wait for them to drop the 400W version. I will upgrade to that when they come out. They are worth the money without question.

do they math, very worth it, consider cost of bulbs, and electricity for 10 years on a MH system, and one of these
it takes acouple years, but pays for itself and then some

not to mention the programmable computer on it, so you can pick which hemisphere to replicate with your lighting cycle

some day...

I am not saying they arent worth it, but wait awhile for the price to drop.

Hey red eye you do the math, you say consider the elec. the bulbs and whatever else. How bout wait a year or so for the hype to die down and then buy.
