Ang savings daw sa led kay ang iyang operating life. around 10-15 years daw basta masolve lang ang heat issues.
I dont know pud sa conversion pero sa ako nabasa, katong high output 3w na LED kay maka cover siya ug one foot square na medium intensity lighting. Wala lang gi mention kung unsa ka taas ang mounting vs sa bottom sa tank.
you sound serious about this. care to give it a try?

hahaha..seryoso unta ko master soggy pero after some research..hastang alkanseha diay nato..hehehe..
anyway, longer life span is just one advantage..
LED is still pretty much under development unlike Incandescent and Fluorescent which are almost already at their prime. LED has much much more potential to have more lumens/Watt.. Thus, for same brightness, we can have lower wattage, resulting to lower electrical consumption.
Also Incandescent and Fluorescent bulbs produce heat (which is wasted energy) in order to produce light, while LED heat is pretty much minimal since electricity is converted directly into light.
For life span, theoritically, ideal LED will have infinite life span.. but in reality, this will translate to a decade or two.. Why LED has infinite life span? LED is a diode...with no heating parts..I would not go into details na..basta mao na 'na..diba marky?
In summary, in less than a century, incandescent, fluorescent, mercury, halide, etc. will be a thing of the past except for special purposes.. LED will be here to stay, unless another technology supersedes it..
Thanks..
