I do not agree with the test result.

I have being using LED aquarium light since solaris time.

During that time there is very little choice and is expensive.

The leds are all running near to peak allowable and the

life is short

Today with the price of LED dropping and performance greatly

improve .Choices are many.

The prices you paid some come is in relation to the component

quality ,design ,material quality and service quality.

LED as we know come in many different bin.

The more tolerance tight bin is going to cost you more.

And I mean a drastic different in cost

That is where the price different fall .

But on the whole most of the led Light set today have rather

acceptable quality.

So the drastic drop off from original spectrum in a short time

is not possible.Although there are drop off.

Today the weakest link in any LED light is the power supply.

Most of the time they are the culpit and upon changing a new unit

every thing is back to normal.

Hope this explain why I do not believe in the test result publish

+1. you got my vote... :cheers:!

I look at your link which leads to ophek with Henning's test.

Then I go reef central n go to Henning's link.
