Study for LED vs. T5 vs. MH?

Are there any study or comparison between the LED vs. T5 vs. MH lights?

Thanks
Simon

you can do your own by finding out the lumens per watt and candlefeet, and research the spectrum each contains...i would be interested to see your findings

I still haven't tried LED on saltwater, but I built a set for my planted tank, and it grows exceptionally well.

Gomer, What are you using for your Planted tanks? I may be able to use it for the macroalgae.

Also, I found 3 links in reefs.org
