I can't seem to find info on these, but I remember seeing an LED tube that fit into a t-5 reflector. What am I thinking of?
 
I'm pretty sure IceCap makes something like that but I don't believe that it fits into an existing t-5 fixture....
 
Has anyone had any experience with those SunBright LED tubes? That's the first I've seen of those. I'm interested....nice find Clowns!

I've seen one in use at a LFS in town, the tank was primarily euphyllia tank with some leathers and shrooms. Tank did ok under it, nothing exciting. As the individual LED's, and then the whole tubes, started to burn out, fixture looked pretty crummy. This was before I found out the price! and it was the 8 bulb fixture running over a 75 gallon tank.

Has been replaced with a 4-bulb T5, and so far most of the euphyllia's are still somewhat withdrawn as they get used to the brighter light.
 
too bad reviews are so poor with these LEDs, they are such a good concept. plus I didn't see them available in t5, just t8 :(
