Hi Guys

I'm a UK guy (just to give you the heads up)

I am thinking of producing a DIY T5/LED hybrid unit (with the help of a light unit friend) as the more and more I research every ones slowly leaving the Metal Halides and T5's and going to LED's longer lasting cheaper to run etc. But as time passes more and more companies have not quite got all the LED spectrums quite right and some people are substituting them with T5 + led's

Ive got alot of questions ad need a lot of lamens terms responses to wrap my brain around this as im still very new to the game

what are reefers wanting from there units

lumens
lux
spectrums


any input so I can make mine as good as possible?


cheers Martin
 
I am running the Orphek pr 156 leds and I love them.
