I think with overdriven T5s you can keep anything but there goes your efficiency

[jimsflies]

Yeah...not sure if I will use t5s or halide. Looked real hard at available LEDs and just can't pull the trigger on those yet.

[schminksbro]

It is a myth that T5s are more efficient than halides

[Mike]

The LED's are so far away still from being able to do the job I think

[jimsflies]

My wife wants a pendant over the tank...one that looks like the solana halide pendant.

Jim i have t5 lighting and i keep just about anything

[Mike]

Very stylish look!

[jimsflies]

Well and I have a problem using the long life that they tought as justification for the high price. If they only last 5 years instead of 10, you just spent a lot of money on your lights.

[Mike]

I bought some of those LED tubes from PJR and am disappointed in the output!

[schminksbro]

What about the natural shimmer? For me that is a driving force in my consideration of lighting.
