I am going to be joining the LED club, I like my T5HO light from Fishneedit.com but I think it is time for me to upgrade. I am going with 16 Cree 3w LEDs for my tank (I think it is a bit overkill) and 2 meanwell dimmable drivers to control the Royal Blues and Cool Whites separately.
Parts list:

-------------------------
8 Cool White Cree Q5 XR-E LEDs
8 Royal Blue Cree XR-E LEDs
16 Cree XR-E Lenses (80 deg, dont think i will use them though)
2 Mean Well ELN-60-48D dimmable driver
1 Arctic Alumina Thermal Adhesive
2 water repellent wire nuts
1 power cord to attach to the driver
11 pieces of pre-cut wire
2x 4.25" x 9" Aluminum Heat Sink
60mm x 25mm Fan
