    I don't have a ton of experience, however I am running a set of fixtures on LEDs from SatisLED.com and they seem to be doing just fine. You can go with osram/cree from rapidLED if you want to also. Those are pretty much sure-fire to work from what I've heard. The Satis ones are 'rated' for 750mA and I run them at 700. The osrams and crees are rated for 1000mA or more so running them at 700mA you're pretty much guaranteed they will last longer. Also the o/c LEDs will have a high lower initial failure rate, but then again, I haven't a ton of time/product testing in on Satis so time will indeed tell.

    We are referring to frozen fish food cube.
    Thanks, I will check SatisLeds. this is what i am planning to do, do i need the resistors R1,R2,R3?   I am planning on having 32LEDs, 8 parallel, 4 leds each. 27 reds (660) and 5 blues (455-460). so i am planning on getting 64watt constant current driver, 12v of minimum 6A. I am not sure if i am missing anything? I did read a lot, it is my first Led project, i just want to make sure i didn't miss anything.
    Thanks again

    You would be better off starting your own thread regarding this.
