L.E.D lightin

actually,i know nothing abt it and just hope some kind reefers will care to explain wats so gd abt led?

[qwertman321]

LED require less electricity to run and they dun produce as much heat compared to any other light!

[benjamintse]

is the light intensity the same as flouresents bulb???or mh

[qwertman321]

Depend on which LED u use, same are like MH , i heard that Cree LED Lights are equivilent to a 300w MH ?

Depend on how many LEDs are lighted up, the LED power (1Watt or 3Watt), or running at what current across the LED.

Do they really require less electricity? From what I see, we still require an x amt of wattage for the tanks.. from what I see its almost comparable to T5 and MH.

Good side though it it produces way less heat, which in turns lessens the load on the chiller.

Yes, it will require less electricity, comparing PAR to PAR. Typically about 25% less. But need to take account of those cooling fans to reduce the LED heat, but not much. The main electric savings are from the chiller. I see no point putting strong heat into the water and then get the chiller to cool the water down.
