Has Anyone used LED Supplimental Actinics and Metal Halides?

its just too bad the power draw and heat from them are so significant compared to t5 or led.

Yeah I kinda fell in love with them when I had an older Hamilton fixture that had 2 X 250W halides and 2 VHO super actinics. The color when just the VHO's were on was truely amazing. Haven't seen anything like it in any of my tanks since.

I've also seen a few tanks of the month on Reef Keeper Magazine that rock the VHO's as well, and they swear by them.
