Yes I have had L.E.D.s for 2 years on my reef tanks.

1) 1/8 of metal halide power usage.
2) Less Heat created
3) Better Color Temperature
4) No external Ballast(all internal so no big heavy ballasts)
5) They have buttons where you can reduce the light output by half(cool
feature)
6) They have internal fans that helps move the air around.
7) Because less heat output, chiller will come on less and that will save
you energy and money.
8) LED bulbs can last for up to 10years were Regular bulbs last 6 months.

Hope you guys enjoyed the info.
