![]() Just running the blues at half power and I've noticed one advantage of these LEDs is that even though none of the white lights have been on for at least 4.5 hours, many of my corals are still fully open. They usually closed up under the old moonlights within an hour or two of the MH going off. I'm liking this development

![]() WOWZERS!!! Check this out, 100W LED! They also have 50W LED, but the 100W got my attention.

These arrays have actually been around for a while now, but I think the 100 watters are a bit overkill for our application and they need a very good heatsink with fan. I would choose multiple 10 watt arrays over any other due to the 9-12 volt DC operating voltage. Makes it much easier to drive them and while they still need a decent heatsink, you might be able to get away with one fan for multiple units of these LEDs. The 100s need some weird voltage like 36 VDC to drive them and power supplies/drivers in that range are less common. Plus, with the 10 watters, your colour mixture can be better customized. Price is better as well & if one 10 watter burns out, it's not as much of a kick in the a$$ to replace. Make a mistake with the 100 & burn it out, it's a few $$s more.
