Default LED light owners, I wanna hear from you!

I'm looking to do a high-light setup on an ADA 60-p using LED light... anyone doing the same?

Anyone using LED's on a similar size tank? (60-p = approx 24"x12"x12")

If you are, I'd be grateful for some feedback about which fixture, and your opinions on them.

Thanks!

Thanks for the find. The PAR looks pretty intense for that unit... I guess a dimmer could be used though.

I found this over at TPT:

I guess I was hoping I could turn this into a sort of survey thread. e.g. what LED light do you have? How do you like it? That kind of thing...

Check out my thread 'The Bonsai Chi' in the journals section. There you will find my pics of the fixture and electronic backpack I made.

I am willing to sell cheaply the plans and parts list for this particular setup.
