Mouse Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi, Looking to create LED lighting system for my tank. I only need between 175 and 200 watts of T5 or MH. I calculated the lumen's of this to be 17500 to 20000... that would be 100 lumen's per watt. I was wondering if the total output lumen's for the LED lighting system would also need to be in that range or if you can get the same intensity with fewer lumen's? Mind you I simplified this down so save you from all the math work that. So if I am missing any important info please let me know and ill address it. Thanks, Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismunn Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 if you take a look around this thread you might be able to find some usefull info on using LED's. this tank is lit soley by LED's that are mounted on a track on the ceiling. on page seven there are some links to some of the parts they used... http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...mp;pagenumber=6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
