Default Anyone currently using LED lighting?

I'd love to see some pictures and hear what people's experiences are with LED's.

Do you mean as your main source of light?

I use them as moonlights. I like them, they've done me well.

I've seen the Full LED systems FS (on an empty, no water tank) but not actually in action. Would love to see pics!

I've seen them, and while they seem to put out nice light, I've heard less then good things about the solaris fixture. Try searching for it on RC, there are a few people there who have tried them out. Biggest issues that I remember were the cost, burn out of the LEDs and replacement of the burnt out strips.
