Cree Brick LEDs - Coral Pix
  #1  
08-07-2012, 09:25 AM
I made the change from 3 X 250 watt 20K Ushios 4 X 54 watt PCs to 4 Cree Brick LEDs about 2 weeks ago.
Reason for the change are: Heat management, the cost of running MH, as well as the cost of replacement bulbs, and finally Wingo made his Cree Bricks so darn affordable for me.
Well as you all know I have zero photography skills so I've done my best. Pix really do not show the beautiful colors I get to see personally, but I tried.
Pix were taken under 100% Blue & 80% White LEDs with Canon Power Shot S3 IS

Thanks...
I got mine when he first offered them at $199. I think they are something like $239. Reach out to Wingo for exact pricing.

I am running the blues at 100%, and the whites at 80% because the whites at 100% is way brighter then my old 250 watt 20K Ushio MH lamps.
My clams are not complaining, and the few SPS I have are also not complaining. Everything is looking happy thus far. I haven't had them long enough to tell you anything more then that. LPS look absolutely incredible...
