Since the first time I saw an aquarium with halide lighting, I have been obsessed with getting just the right dancing lights. After going all the way up to 3 400 watt halides, I have been learning about LED lights and putting together a series of LED systems. I have also made friends with a number of people who manufacture LED lights and are interested in serving the aquarium community.
Properly done, a small number of LED lights can produce glitter lines in a VHO system. It is the only thing I have seen that can replace halides. Before trying to produce a product, these people want to know how big the market would be. So I am asking, are there many people who do not have halides or some other source that produces glitter lines?
A related question is what configuration people would want in an LED fixture. Most of those on the market are strips. I have suggested that they make square grids ten inches on a side with 81 LEDs. The light color would depend on the combination of lights. Bear in mind that LEDs are directional and have a relatively narrow beam.
If anyone has their own answer or can answer for the hobby as a whole, that would be great.
