Ok, let's hear it!
 
It seems more and more people are coming out of the lighting closet. Who else is ditching their LEDs for other options??

So not ditching LED then? :)

Although, if I can figure out how to run a controllable blue LED strip down the center of my fixture, I will add that for dawn/dusk effect

Agreed. LED are ok, but I'm looking for more than ok. So far the T5 are giving me that.

I went from running 100% led and found out that I can't achieve the colourations that I saw from other reefers so I added in T5s because it seems to be working for everyone else! Woam I got the colourations I wanted and still have growth and pop from led. Can't go back to 100% led unless new technology comes out for them proving they can achieve colouration from mh or t5.

LEDs are the only solution to my main floor heat issues. Otherwise I'd still be flogging the the LWL badge.

I ditched LED a long time ago. Oh wait, I never even tried it. And probably won't try it till halides and T5s are taken off from their market for being awesome!

Hybrids are a whole different story. It is T5 but uses LED for something what it can only do properly right now: light effects. :lol:
