Depending on the spectrum of the LEDs they can really bring out the florescence in the corals. The royal blue LEDs in my iReef really bring out the colours, it's just hard to capture in camera. You have to see it in person.
Yes, it's been stated that they don't take power form the T5 ballast. What I am concerned with is the ballast not having 2 bulbs on it. Most ballast's need both bulbs to work properly. Take one away and the ballast doesn't light the other properly and is hard on them. Would just hate to see people put 1 of these in, and ruin an otherwise good ballast trying to drive the other T5
