Interesting LED Article

I came across this article on LEDs while researching the Eshine units:

http://aquariumdigest.wordpress.com/tag/e-shine-led/

It's an interesting read, but I'm a bit suspect due to the glowing reviews of two LED companies (Orphek and TMC)...


What are your thoughts?

The article was written almost 2 years age. The LED improvement is quite rapid and much has changed, I believe, over that period of time.

From everything I have read, that website is run by TMC in some way. They LOVE TMC and Orphek stuff and don't care for anything else.

It is a pretty bad website IMO. Definitely not an unbiased look at things.

Looks like you're right...
Quite the effort on their part to shill a specific company, if you ask me..

I'm not sure whether to have the thread locked so it doesn't spread the article further, or to keep it open so people can see that the article is a sham..
