It has been resoundingly proven that it is possible.
I have also noticed the same thing in regards to my led's not wrapping around the branches. I think its because the light source is so concetrated with led, while halides and t5 have large reflectors on them. Maybe we just need wider led fixtures to get better front to back coverage?
