I'm running radions supplemented with 1 t5 blue+ bulb on each side of my leds. Seems to bring out more color than just LEds alone and there's not rly much heat. I'm thinking of mybe adding 1 more t5 on each side. Dunno yet

My DIY LED fixture will have 5 years running time come April. Not one LED has burned out to date. No bulb changes for 5 years, that's a relief for the pocket book & the landfill/hassle of proper disposal of fluorescents. No way I would consider going back. Don't find the need to supplement for what I have in the tank either, multi-chip LEDs provide very good coverage & more colour choices are available in LED technology than ever before.

I have an Evergrow IT series 48" light and the fans are pretty much silent. I have had the light fixture for 8 months and no issues with the fans or led clusters.
