    Yah, I spoke with a rep from ecoxotics and they said their regular 17.5 inch panorama retros would be fine so long as I supplemented it with some extra royal blue "stunner" strips. I am thinking when I build mine, I'll just be installing the Cree LEDs a little bit more condensed than typical, and running 40 degree optics vs. the typical 60-65 degrees and adding a few more 453nm blues for greater penetration.

    Also considered asking LFS to pick one up from a wholesaler? Or order one for you?

    Thanks! Hopefully the DIY LED method works out, otherwise, I'll be stuck with the power sucking halides. LOL :cry:
