    Here are the latest pics and prices on the new Orphek ML-T5 LEDs. These are T-8 formfactor LED tubes that will fit into T-5 fixtures with included adapter and they have their own power supplies. Pretty cool.

    They'll come in 24, 36, 48, and 60" options. (~$99, $139, $169, and $199 respectively) As you can see they come with their own power supply and are plug and play ready, and will also fit into existing T-5 fixtures but will require some minor electrical modifications of the existing fixture (instructions will be included).

    They will come in a moonlight option (our blue and UV/true violet emitters) and a daylight option (our true 15k white, blue, and UV/true violet Power LED™ emitters). They will emit more PUR than the T5 bulbs they are replacing. Spectrographs, etc are forthcoming.

    They seem great! Can't wait for the first to be released so we can see them over tanks.

    These are going to be downright amazing. I don't even run my T5 fixture, and I'm planning on replacing my tubes with these as soon as I can get them!

    Neat! I guess it is a waiting game now, until they get released and some specs and graphs are posted. They look pretty easy to use and install.

    Im sure it would be some pretty crazy shimmer. lol

    Any pics of these over a tank by any chance? Id love to see what they look like in use. Just a picture of the lights themselves is such a tease...
