"You can cover a circle of about 2.5-3 ft in diameter with one 100w LED+lens. The power is incredible, I actually have to turn mine down, even over a 3ft deep tank."

 

That was from a guy who has them already on his tank. For One LED that seems pretty good.

They probably do they look like they ate very tightly grouped did you see any demintions on them? And I was just stating again I have played around with several different types of led and so far Cree are the best bang for my buck.

Ah. the guys in the that thread have said that those led's do great penetration. Its a 100w LED, with the right lens you would think you could do good things with them.

I mean this thing seems good because its one LED that can do a big radious. Instead of having to wire up 50 LED's. Like Joe said, whats the difference. Would like some elaberation on the subject.
