Ahh, ok I can see that and have read similar comments but that is in relation to LED in general not just the Sol's which is what the OP was asking about.

Kind of like when we all started changing from regular light bulbs to the the spirals, our eyes percieved a change in the light and may have thought them more dim.

Yeah sorry I didn't quite know how to word what I was trying to explain. I was reading reviews about them and a few people were saying they don't put out alot of light marking your display very dark and dim. Compared to Halides? I guess it would mainly rely on your white / blue intensity balance.

Could also just be related to the optics and differences in how high people have their fixtures over the water level and not the actual light output.
