Yeah, actually, I am. OLED's are starting to post some of the highest efficiencies and spectral outputs available in modern lighting. It's not an application that's found its way to the aquarium hobby yet, but as time goes by and RD progresses, manufacturing costs come down and these light sources get even better.

Thx 4 attempt at GG reply :P MH = lose.

It shouldn't be long before OLED prices come down (I guess "long" is a relative term thoug). From what I understand manufacturing of organic screens should be considerably cheaper than comparable alternatives once manufacturing scales are equalized.

But what about Luxim's plasma lamps?

i'm sorry i've seen quite a few sps tanks running t5' with great results, but going on to say that T5's give a nicer tone is'nt true, my T5's gave a pretty bland color, with little shimmer, but when i switched to halides, man you can't beat that nice crisp shimmer that you get imo
