This will prolly open a whole can of worms possibly but has anyone tried the Sunbrite Led's that are out? I might be looking at going from my mh's to T5's and i saw them and was like O.O hmmm. But im guessing its another too good to be true thing?

I've been following them, but I haven't seen enough info to spend the money on them yet. I have exchanged emails with the owner a few times and he was very helpful. I really like the idea of LED's but I also like to see/ test something before I buy it. They had a webcam set up at this site

At this point I think that LED's will drop even more in price and there will be more products to chose from over the next year.

like mentioned in previous threads, once LED's set in the technoligy will continue to increase thus making the higher end unit still very expensive... this is a trade where you pay for what you get... even in DIY situations... you can build it cheaper then a bought one but youll buy the best of the best LED's if you want the best... alot of bests in that sentence.

My concern is more towards the technoligy and wither or not the have the right spectrums applicable to this hobby... I honestly thought the solaris was super cool but turn out to be a flop... you can choose what ever spectrum yo'd like to have your lights at and continue to adjust to your preference, have a full lunar cycle all in one unit, super cool... cant wait for the confirmation that these things really can do what companys are claiming...
