Lights for my new 3ft...50g

[Doug]

I,m down to the 36in. 6 bulb Sunpower from Concepts

or the 2080, 32in. almost 300w multiple spectrum leds from Reef Supply Canda

I had to vote for the sunpower, seeing as how I ordered it from concepts this past weekend.

If you go with T-5's, be prepared to replace your bulbs often. If you don't like the look of LED's though, your best to go with T-5's.

You dont agree that with Sunpower or Powermodule, active cooling can give you almost a year with the bulbs?

I ran the power module for years, bought a par meter the bulbs last for years before noticeable drops in par levels, it is the spectrum that shifts and you can notice a different colour. My vote would be ati absolutely loved my light miss it as can't get no where near the growth and colour with led.

I agree with brad!!! If I was a baller I would do triple threat like Darryl mh+t5+led!!!

Im pricing ATI combos now....

maybe you can be the guinea pig for everyone and get the sunpower and run it for a bit then i will give ya a LED to run for a while and if neither is to your liking we can try a hybrid. I just am not sure on how the T5s hold up for resale value as i wouldn't want you to lose money when you sell it at the end
