I have a feeling this is gonna be the next wave of MH's....
If you do their cost calculator you can actually see the difference in what your running verse if you were to run LEDs......

Initial cost of PFO according to the calculator is $1500 :bigeyes2:

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Just got off the phone with them, they said price is going to be approx 1300-1500 for the 48" fixture.

 

[reefman]

how long does the bulbs last n how much to replace?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

says 50,000 hrs per LED Check the link Ink posted there's alot of info on the PFO website.

now that is cool. great to see new technologies and more lighting options coming to the hobby, too bad about the price though.

Now, where are you Chinese guys? I bet as soon as this product comes out, there is going to be a replica for much less.

I would wait for another year of two before jumping on the bandwagon, LED in marine eviroment has not been proven yet. I have seen many LED installations on aircrafts in the last 5-7 years and I still try to talk people out of it, the cost vs. liability is still not there yet.

 

[druluv]

Ok who is ready for a group buy

 

[Tonyscoots84]

i hope no1 cause as cali said they def. wont be proven to work and function correctly for about a year at least at minimum....

 

[Doc]

I might get one. I like the idea.

thy have a disclaimer tho...says thy may fail or reduce bulb life if they get over heated, and thats WITH the fans thy already have bult in....i would use caution, like a new model car, never buy it in the first yr production...

I believe Beta units are being sent to Sanjay, Terry Siegal etc. So let's give it some time. Randy
