And to mfinn, the previous poster didn't say his leds burned out, only that he has some concern that they may have color shifted. t5 bulbs still work after 12, 18, 24 even 36 months, but would you use them over an sps tank? Not likely. If you were trying to be satirical or even funny, you failed. And as somebody who has been in the hobby as long as you, you know better. A disappointing post.
That is exactly what I have heard many times, that the leds are suppose to last 10 years. I didn't say anything about them burning out. I just stated something I have read over 3 different forums.
Fwiw, I have had the Reef Breeders value fixture and I currently have a Radion.
There was no attempt at humor or anything else.
Sorry to be a disappointment to you.
