LED question - Reef-Geeks

high tide · Big-Geek

does anyone know if LED's produce "shimmer" like a point source light? or are they too diffused?

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I have heard that they do, but have not seen it personally.

same here, Id add some if that was gonna happen, T5's need some shimmie!

Sneezy · Big-Geek

I can agree with that 100%

Yes they can do that. We have led moon lights and they make the shimmer effect.

I don't know if the t5s would flood out the shimmer effect or not, but I've seen leds shimmering away.

Being easily entertained is good. So how did the experiment go?
