I hope to see more out of it but there is already "Same output as a 250WH but 40% less power" T-5HO so not that thilled so far. The LED stuff I seen so far had real crummy color redering too.
Someday it will get there.

Way too expensive. LED's are inexpensive. I don't see why companies over price products like this. You would think the initial price would be low to get some of these fixtures out in the community. _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

Wow. That's some tall cash.
I look forward to seeing them progress as well.
With so many leds they should be able to program cloudyness and moon cycles a little better I'd think. | |

They advertise that you save money but that would take years. What if something happens to the light fixture, how long will it take to get it fix and that would mean buying another fixture as a back up.

| LED components available?
Wonder if you can buy the different spectrum LED's on the open market at a reasonable price to do your own DIY projects and experimenting. I know you can buy a couple of different kinds of blues, whites, reds, etc.  | |
