LED questions and general Reef

[mike31154]

Yikes, that Radion story does not sound good! Sorry to hear.

My DIY build using generic 10 watt multi chip LEDs has now been running 3 years. I cooked one dimmer, but that's because I knowingly ran it at over it's rated load. Once I split the load, no problem. I was a doofus for running it that way. Anyhow, all good since that episode, no LED burnouts, no power supply burn outs and I have spare LEDs, dimmers & power supplies. I can order more on line any time. The 10 watt LEDs are cheaper now than they've ever been, around $2 each, depending on colour.
