This link was posted on our local reef club site and was getting very little reaction other than the price. I wouldn't or couldn't afford the price either but I'm very excited about the claims made on the site. The adjustability and cost savings over the long term are amazing. Imagine a bulb that last more than 10 years and is adjustable from 6500 to 22k. Oh yeah and there is almost no heat transfer to the tank and uses 40% less energy than the equivalent MH. This looks to me to be the future of lighting in our hobby. I'm curious to hear if others think the same as I do after reading their claims?

That lighitng system does allot more than that ? I taked to Pat the other day for an hour. We have been taking about these for a couple of years. And a freind of mine, who is a lighting and circuti design expert, put together the cost of an LED system for his 75 Gal, to replace 2-250W-DE MH ad 2-110 VHO Actinics = $5,000.00. Pats system is even better and cost less
