I joined an online forum to discuss my new Goldfish and biorb aquarium. After my first post the comments predictably were critical of the fish I've stocked. Wrong everything really, with a helpful suggestion to dump them in a pond. I'll sort something out. Anyway. I decided yesterday to change the Orb lighting from a 10 Watt Halogen to an L.E.D substitute. The L.E.D one consumes 1.2 Watt but gives out the equivalent of 20 watt Halogen. The L.E.D one should last 50,000 hours against the Halogens 2,000 hours life expectancy. Bottom line is it uses 1/8th the power, lasts 25 times longer, Is twice as bright and gives a 'sharper' light. I've posted the Halogen next to the L.E.D. I Like the L.E.D but personal taste will be a factor here.
