I've seen a lot of LED "double bright" lighting systems on the market. As a beginner my LFS is recommending HO T5's, which is okay with me. But when I ask about the LED systems everyone just shrugs.
Does anyone here have any experience with LED lighting for a reef tank?
Obviously the power consumption would be far less, as these are typically 1-5w LED's that supposedly put out just as much or more than a normal HO fluorescent.
The initial purchase price isn't much different from T5's, but I'm thinking the long term savings in power consumption, plus not having to replace bulbs could be beneficial.
