In an earlier post several of us were discusing the possibility of using arrays of LED's to light a complete aquarium. We were looking for ways to overcome a few problems that LED's present 1.) Limited bandwidth, 2.) narrow radiation beam and 3.) Luminous Flux (brightness)
In this thread I erroneously posted that LED brightness is rated in micro-candela when in fact they are rated in milli-candela. For those that care, I wanted to correct this. Yaksplat you were correct in your assumption, it is milli-candela. I've been playing arround with 6000 mcd Blue LED's and yikes - they are pretty bright, an array of 100 (10x10) will provide considerable output, however - still very tightly focused.
I know this will be of particular intrest to Yaksplat and a few others.
Sorry about that.
