what LEDs are they actualy using? I looked on there site and the info is pretty limited, but it looks like they are building a conventional style fixture from the pictures.

I have been playing with a couple edison and higher watt leds also and have come up with a few different ideas.. just got to find time to do some more playing befor I decide. my next exparament is (call me crazy if you want) I am going to try directly solder chips in close proximity to a curved heatsink/pcb combo, justy playing with trying to get the traces small enough and close enough togeather with what I have available. my idea is to get the LEDs close enough togeather and by there position on the curve I should be able to light and entire tank with one unit.

It is there own proprietary LED, that is designed strictly for the purpose of aquarium use.

I decided to do a blend of Royal Blue, Cool White, Neutral white and some limited straight blue. Haven't lit it up yet...but we'll see what it looks like sometime soon.
