They are saying they will eventually go away for more then 15 years. It's just one more marketing strategy from LED companies!!!!! Point is they can't be substituted by LEDS, period! It's phisically impossible as far as we know.They will eventually go away. I bet we have at least 5 years though and we can always buy up the bulbs and just hang onto them. Ballasts and reflectors will be available from the horticulture industry for a lot longer. I have talked to many cannabis growers and all said they only like LED when young. They get much better yields out of halide. However, I don't know nearly enough on that topic to talk about it. I can only share what the growers told me.
Tullio says that many public aquariums are swithcing back to halides after they noticed a very large delcine in health of their habitats under LEDs. It is in the above video.
I also spoke with BRS about the possibility of drop shipments through Reef Brite and it was very well received. Let's hope that happens soon enough.
The public aquariums should release the info so people could believe and see how different they are, and how unhealthy LEDs are, per what they said.
I also suggested the drop-off shipments from Hamilton and ReefBrite to BRS, but the guy on the phone said he didn't think that would happen. I also told them people are importing Giesemann Spectra and Infinity with bulbs from EU because they removed them from the web site. He just said "sorry". I guess if more people call them they could listen? Not if the plan is to sell those puck$ and panel$ for much more $$$$$$!!!
