Thanks for the first hand info Mark, nothing like being there & seeing all the technology in person. Interesting perspective from Mr. Dr.? Sanjay. I've been on the verge of going LED for some time now but keep sitting on the fence, watching all the DIY builds and ever increasing number of new entrants to the fixture game. Interesting to see the initial hype with Crees and now more fixture providers starting to design their own LEDs (Orphek) and/or using other manufacturers more in tune with marine livestock requirements as far as spectrum, rather than pure lumens per watt hype.

The plot thickens and competition is getting intense. I think I'll wait just a little longer......

What an amazing thing to be able to SEE all of the fixtures running in person and at the same time so you can make comparisons...

Yeah with a readily available par meter, I had mh, t5 and led in my basement so newbies could see the difference, but i am going to phase out the mh's. I totally need to get one of these fixtures tho. I will be able to compare it to the 24" vertex fixture.
