Yes, tested on a PAR meter and PAR was equal between blues & whites (at least with the 10w emitters I'm using).

Figured out pics. Here's my tank with the 72 aqua style kit, at 100%.
Forgive the quality. You can see the spot light effect 90 degree lenses can do an inch off the water. I ran the light for months with no lenses but wanted to try this for a while. |

Wingedfish tank looks good. I can't wait to mount mine next week!

Ok here it is. Finally finished... I have the light set at 30% power and will slowly bump it up 10% at a time over the next month or so. I took some before and after pics.
This is with 2 250w MH and 4 54w T5. This is with T5 only The new LEDs at 30% for both blue and white. The right side has 60 degrees optics and the left side doesn't have any. Inside the canopy. Inside the canopy. Here is a more closeup pic. Here is a link to a video for the tank with LEDs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgLG...e_gdata_player I like the look of the 60 degrees optics more. I can see way more lights on the sand bed. What do you guys think? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk |

Very nice. No more bulb replacements and less summer heat issues. I bet this pays for itself in 18 months. What was the final cost if I may ask?

$260.00 for the leds, $40.00 for the u channel heatsink, $10.00 for resistor, fuse and misc stuff. So I guess $310.00 all said and done. Would have easily cost me more than that to change all my bulbs.

Excellent. If overheating is not an issue you should get five years before the emitters begin to wink out. Bet you wish you did it sooner eh?
