jackaninny Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Went from MH to LEDs from Ecoxotic 12 - 250W and 6 - 400W replaced with 8 - 50W Cannons Will save $5K the first year in energy which pays for the LEDs - after that it's Star Wars Legos for EVERYONE!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLH3TcHGOP4&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf86123 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 That's a pretty spectacular change, I'd love to find out a price on those things, with some of the things I've got in mind, they could work wonders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 They retails for $549 each Not a bad price at all for what you get out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 That's a helluva price, considering what it is and the amount of light it puts out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwheeler Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Yea that is a pretty good price for how bright they are. I wonder how well they would grow coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGooseWhisperer Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 omg i cant believe how much brighter the LEDs are. I'm headed down to SD next summer and I will certainly be stopping by Legoland. Been down there many other times and it somehow always ends up falling off the list of things to do.
