I don't see how the Leds will pay for them selfs. If i get two 60" LEd fixtures that would be using about 1000watts of power. So it would cost me about $267.84 in electricity a year not to mention the over $6k purchase price of fthe units. If i got 12 T5's 60"x80w each = 960watts and about $1300 for the Lighting units. T5's would cost me $257.16 a year in electricity and about $300 a year for bulbs. According to my calculations it would take about 17 years for the leds to pay for their selfs.(i think.. its late lol)
