Marineland LED Aquarium Kits

Marineland's new aquarium kits are notable for the new 3 mode LED light in the streamline hood. Yet another sign of Marineland's LED push to the masses. These appear to be the same 60mW LEDs found in the new Single Bright LED lamps. These should be hitting the stores this summer.

The nightlight and daylights are on the same switch, so now individual timing for each one?

 

It will be interesting to see how much they cost. I hope lots of people buy them. It would be nice to see a continued decrease in LED costs.

 

I'm not sure if its just me, or my lack of knowledge for the marineland LEDS but all I know is i tested some of marinelands LED systems out and it was not even close to worth buying. I dont know what the model number was or if it was just a base model but if any of there other LED systems are anywhere near the quality, I wouldnt reccomend them to a person on welfare trying to set a reef aquarium up.

 

I think these are pretty low end setups, not meant for a reef. Also if someone was on welfare and was trying to set up a reef, I would be pretty pissed.

 

I wouldn't expect this setup to be "reef ready", but it is good that companies are looking at led's to fill roles traditionally occupied by incandescent and florescent bulbs. Most of these kits have entry level lights which are fine for fish only systems. I would expect the led version to be the same.
