I have seen some Fish-street stiff in a store at Metrotown mall on Kingsway. I would save your money.

I do see they sell Bubbme Magnus, but the acctual Fish Street brand, what I saw was real cheap for sure

The Maxspect lights are not made by fish street and look a bit better than the other cheaper fixtures they sell. But I think they have other limitations I mentioned in the LED light thread.

I think they may be a good option for some depending on how you want to use them but they lack a few nice features such as dimming and also they do not have an even spread of light.

I think the most advantageous thing about LED's is the simplistic fact that they last for so long. To replace the bulbs for a 6 foot light that has 3 250W metal halides and 8 t5's is appx $800.00 making it almost as expensive as the fixture itself. Never tried LED's myself but in the future when the price goes down it's between those and another t5 set up.
