Well, we can preach about it, but we're still all hypocrites, if we keep fish/corals, drive cars, ride a bus, live in houses, and surf the internet. If we're really serious, we should go look for a cave to live in.

I think the only way to save humanity for the long term is have less of it. And it will happen one way or the other.... Maybe an asteroid....

Meanwhile, I will keep enjoying my fish/corals, and all the other good things in life for myself and my family. I didn't get to choose my life and time, but will make the most of what I have.

Seriously, what are the chances that ....oh, wait...:)

Love the discussion all. Great info.

Not sure if I wish to change to LED just yet..

May as well make the switch before the world ends...

If you want LED to save money, then its not a good choice.

If you want LED for its versatility, less heat issue and coolness, then LED is awesome!

Remember, LED is like iphone; new stuffs are bound to come out every 6 or 7 months. ;)

Right about the same time you'll be shelling out $$$ to buy new T5 bulbs.
Just saying.

True that. But the quality will be consistent. LEDs will get better over time; T5 and MH are perfectly developed.

How many have changed their T5 fixture to get a "better" fixture and how many have changed their LED fixture to get a better one? ;)

I've always found this sort of product provides interesting info. It'll tell ya exactly what is used and not used!

how much would be the bill for 300w high power LEDs in 2 months ?

300w x number of hours = kwh
kwh x price of electricity = cost.

it depends on how long theyre run for and how much power costs. if you ran them for 12h and electricity is 8.5c per kwh like it is here then:
300 x 12 = 3600wh or 3.6kwh. 3.6kwh x 60 days = 216kwh
216kwh x 0.085$ = $18.36 this doesnt include transmission charges and other fees.
