LED lights

[pulse]

Does anyone have experience with LED lights yet? How do they look and function with corals v. MH lamps?
What is heat transfer like?

We are testing the new 250W LED light in our 150g reef. So far our corals have liked it and there is no heat. What you are probably asking is the big LED lighting fixtures, ours is not that. You can see it in *spidey's 150 reef build* thread.

Honestly at this point save your money.
The fully assembled units (expecially the PFO Solaris) have kinks and don't really live you to what they claim to do.
Some units like the Aquailluminations and the Sfilogoi are supposedly way beyond the Solaris.

i agree with wango tango. i haven't seen a tank with LED's over it that i was impressed by.
meanwhile, spiderwoman...would you mind sending me a link to where you purchased that led bulb from in pm?
