Nice looking setup Kaia!!!  I found this LED lighting system to be very enjoyable so far. It gives me alot of control over the amount of brightness and color.

Thank you! The system you posted is really something! Maybe someday. A lfs has lighting set up to look like a rain storm with lightening and all...

As Marty said... LEDs vary GREATLY depending on who makes them.

Just look at the difference in LED flashlights.  Some are not better or worse than an old time bulb... where others are bright as all get out.

It addition to the light output... they can vary greatly also in the heat they generate.  The one cheap LED flashlight I have is REAL bright, but it gets so hot you cant even hold it.  I use it on my bike handlebars only because of this.
