Just read an newspaper article on LEDs. Reserachers have finally achieved "white" light with them, though I have no idea what application they would have in marine aquaria. LEDs are supposed to run for a fraction of the cost of any other type of light, a good thing in their favour.
I'd suggest you do a ton of research on them, if such research material is available on the internet yet, and report back your findings. LEDs could be a promising lighting alternative for us reefkeepers.
BTW, have been reading about the Kelowna fire in the paper today and yesterday. Sounds really freaking brutal for folks out your way
Hope all is well with you and your loved ones
