Anyone here using LED PAR38 bulbs?

If you are using these bulbs. What kind of corals do you have under these lights? And how long have you used them?

Ya I have one and its sick. I'm using it on my 7.5g cube. Had it about a month now and I love it. I got a duncan and a dendro which were added yesterday and the duncan looks great under it. The dendro's in the shade though. Also got a millie, monti cap, acans, chalice...all look great under this bulb, However, I really wouldnt try to light a big tank with these. I've seen a few large tanks with this set up and it looks weird with some areas brighter then others. Also, it would be pretty costly to light a big tank with these bulbs. I guess its a matter of personal preference really. IMO, these bulbs rock for nano's.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm actually looking to light a nano sized area. Jlopez, do you have any pics you can post?

I'm at work right now so unfortunately no, but if I get a chance later tonight I'll try to get some up.
