    any LED Brainiacs here?

    very nice what leds are in your fixture and how much power are they getting? they running on 350 mA or 1 A? i will definitely take a trip up when they get setup - are you asking your own fixture or did you buy one already if so can you give me the dimensions of the box? and how much did it cost you?

    any LED Brainiacs here?

    Im looking into 1 watt and 4 watt bulbs- right now i know there are 1 watt each bulb in the powerbrite fixture- however i doubt that 1 watt will reach the depth of my tank which is 18 inches- my cousins are electricians and i asked them and they keep on talking about high hat lighting with leds...

    any LED Brainiacs here?

    can you send me a link to these power bright leds? Also can you tell me if they are strong enough to shimmer through all my t-5 bulbs when they are on- i hear some accounts that powerbrights dont cut it and only can use the leds from the solaris which are the phillips luxon leds.
