I went to our LFS, and the manager was showing me these T8 tubes filled with LEDs. I find it a pretty cool concept, literaly. He says he carries color temps from 6000K to 22000K. They run about $100 per bulb he said, but I was curious if anyone had experience with these. It does not use Ballast and he showed me the wattage usage compared to Power Compacts, Regular Fluorescent, T-5's, etc, and the LED tubes just use way less power. I was considering buying a T5 retrofit kit from icecap, but Now I am seriously considering these. I am also trying to see if they have them on line, but it does not seem they have the colors that my LFS had. So your feed back on these would be much appreciated. Sure beats the Solaris which are Thousands of dollars. But I do hope these would be good for corals and stuff.
