I have some 36" LED Aquarium lights for sale, total 198LEDs. They are Brand New never been use, comes with mounting brackets and transformer to lower the current. Im using 4 of these on my 240g Fish Tank, as you can see they are bright enough to grow plants. Best of all they ONLY use 11watts, compare to 200watts for a power compact lighting. Lifespan of these lights are 80,000 hours, lifespan of compact lights are 6 months. you do the math.

Sounds like he has 198pcs NIB.
25.00 ea is what I gather

It is cheaper than my LED DIY plan, but seems lacking in power. I also don't like the wire setup. I would offer $80 for all of them.

i think what he meant is that each tube has 198 LED diodes. At that price, i'd be wary of the quality and the light intensity, i know there's lots of these cheaper LED bulbs on ebay. but just check them out, if they seem bright enough for your needs, you cant go wrong for that price.

my LFS has some of the newer LED fixtures and they are retarded bright. they use these on their reef and freshwater planted tanks. but these are very high quality LED lights. a 4ft bulb will run you $200-300. get a few light tubes, plus the fixture, and your at $2k for your lighting!!
