I'm intrigued by the LED lights. I like the fact that they use less energy, and especially that they throw off less heat, since I'm in Arizona and keeping the heat down in the summer is always a struggle.
I'm just starting out, but I do want to have corals (LPS, SPS, mushrooms, etc.) in my tank, so light is important.
Right now I have a PC light unit with PC daylights, actinics and moonlights.
I've been looking at upgrading to MH or T5, but I keep coming back to LED also.
So, I found these lights on ebay:

I'm guessing it's too good to be true, as far as light output and cost, but has anyone else tried these with corals?
Am I just wasting my time and energy looking into LEDs? Or would it be worth it to give something like this a try?
Thanks,
Margie
