I got a Lamborghini. So much hype doesn’t do well in snow and cost a lot to fix.

Mine won’t put butter on the toastI keep asking my airplane to make toast. I don’t get it.
One thing I really don’t like about the leds is you don’t just replace the 50 bulb, you have to replace the 500 fixtureHalf the people with the negative comments probably weren't in the hobby when halides and t5s were the go to.
I agree they look better, but LEDs are awesome. Less heat, no bulb changing, etc.
I've been quite happy with aquaillumination, used them for many years now. Not sure why radion feels the need to come out with a different model every year, maybe because when the older ones break the customers are forced to get a "discount" on the new model.
Lots of them can actually be fixed for quite cheap if you're handy. Lots of tutorials on here if you search for them.One thing I really don’t like about the leds is you don’t just replace the 50 bulb, you have to replace the 500 fixture
I 99.9% agree with your statement but for a slight change:Half the people with the negative comments probably weren't in the hobby when halides and t5s were the go to.

I think thats why I got my setup cheap. The shop could not get them to work right off the bat and figured they were on the way out. I beat on them for 2-3 hours and finally got them to co-operate.Lots of them can actually be fixed for quite cheap you're handy. Lots of tutorials on here if you search for them.
So, by your analogy, I should take the G4's off my tank and ride them to work? Cause they sure aint working right for me on the tank! I MUST be using them for the wrong job!?I got a Lamborghini. So much hype doesn’t do well in snow and cost a lot to fix.
I wonder if the led t5s are worth anything.That extra heat is killer. I just installed hybrid beginning of this summer and definitely notice my ac having harder time keeping up during the day. Looks like it’s time to have 25 year old ac unit replaced.
They might make nice snow shoes. It sounds like you're somewhere cooler that can get away with MH. This hobby is too expensive to run the wrong equipment.So, by your analogy, I should take the G4's off my tank and ride them to work? Cause they sure aint working right for me on the tank!

I been reef keeping online for 20 years and on rc during these days. The debate has just change from t5 vs single ended/de w/ t12 vho to led vs. all.I agree with your experience, I just switch back to halides from radions g5, I try different led brands. People that never had the bright halides will never understand it. To have a pleasant effect with the radion and good coverage I had to add twice as recommended, so no cost and energy saving at all and even this was not enough , I had to supplement with T5.When you put them strong enough that the tank look nice then you burn the corals, when the corals like it, then it is not nice for the eyes in daylight . It is just good in the blue phase, so yes blue fanboys who not have daylights will be happy, others not. Does it growth corals , yes, same than halides no way! Actually, what I like the most is halides with just a blue LED bar for ad a bit more pop. But I agree with you led are just marketing , but people never had a good light before or very blue will not see the difference. Some of my corals showed immediately improvement in poly extension from the switch. Check the halides topic here in the forum, many switched back already.
I started with a canopy but the wife didn't like the look and I didn't like reaching into it to clean the tank every week. The LED strips on the rack from my first post are from BuildmyLED which still work and are 9 years old.When LEDs came out, I was toying with how to mount them side by side with the Halides so I could use Halides in the winter to get that look AND heat the house.
Would def have to do some kind of canopy, or blind on that fixture. However, I do need that middle frogspawn though, lol.
