LEDs and electricity savings

If and when I can ever afford led it wouldn't be for the power savings aspect. I'm a control freak now and love the "idea" of controlling color and also I have temp issues it would solve

My decision to go LED was for a few things. A 60" tank in my Mobile. With 3 250w MH caused a TON of evap. Windows were always blocks of ice in winter, getting moldy and the heat/humidity was like the tropics. Now I went DIY to start. Trying to save $ because there wasn't many cheaper alternatives 3 years ago. Now, my present DIY is lacking some spectrums and growing Dino's, Corals are almost gone. I am going to get some redymade LED's to hopefully increase tank health. My power bill is a lot less now tho, and the humdty/evap is much better. So I am staying with LED. Just need to find what will work for me and I think it's the Evergrow D120's Less $ than what I have in my DIY setup too!!!!
