I was disappointed in that the article did not show any
real world results, ie "let's see the tank that the light
was on". If he has had it on his reef tank all these
years, then why not show some pictures of the tank?

Boomer,

Thanks for pointing the Group to another very interesting article. The
units seem fantastic - a "step" change, possibly ! Any reduction in
electrical costs (and heat generation) is very welcome.

If I am interpreting the article correctly, the "useable" spectrum
appears to reduce before the 11-year lifespan, but even so, the life
is much longer than MH or fluorescent bulbs.

The cost of the equipment is terrifying, but will probably reduce if
other manufacturers start to market similar units.

Regards, Fishnut.
