Daltrey,
I tried out two Blue Pops when the E5's came available. Maybe a tad brighter than an ATI B+.
They really freaked out some of my corals and my Bubble Tip anemones hid until I put the t5's back in.
I was pushing 10 t5's at the time and only tried out two Blue Pops within the mix.
One day I pulled an E5 apart and only seems to be those tiny led strips that your can buy at Home Depot, that was encased in a plastic cover.
Never seen a full blown E5 reef that has truly grew corals.
I'd take a pass, but others may have had better results.

Ok thanks, I saw an advertisement in a reefing magazine and was wondering why no one used them. Especially when it said the bulb never has to be changed. You know what they say “If it sounds to good to be true.....”.
