do not get me wrong here. i know that LED's should be the future, but for now they still see way behind MH's in what we need for our reef tanks. what am i missing? they produce less light per watt. it makes little sense to me to replace my 150W MH with a 180W LED, if the LED is producing less light than the MH.
typical lighting efficiency.
Lumens-Per-Watt Comparison
Luminous efficacy
i completely plan on using an LED in my MacQuarium because of space limitations, but for a reef tank, i just do not see the advantages yet. especially given the costs of LED devices.
the large LED fixtures. what happens when a single LED goes out. can they be individually replaced, or does one need to replace the entire fixture? at several hundred a pop, that can get annoying.
so, what am i missing?
