Led Moonlighting From Ebay.......

[mattlee]

i like the idea of getting an LED moonlighting kit for my tank and have sourced a few on ebay that sound ok but was wondering if anyone has actually bought one......
they are about £18 i think for the kit which includes 2 x LED strips, fixing kit and adjustable power unit that controls the brightness by reducing the wattage i think!
i would do a link but i dont know how to......... can anyone tell me how to do this?

I brought 2x30cm strips from specialist lighting uk, they were great, i superglued them to my hood, although, it would be best to cable tie them onto the black blocks supplied.

mine burnt out after about 5 months not sure if im going to get something else or buy some more...

Ok so the tank is a 4 foot Fluval Roma. I attached the lights by very carefully drilling small holes in the water side of the top plastic capping (there was a 5mm clearance between the plastic capping and the glass)and using cable ties. This also allows each light to be directed where ever I wish. For the money I felt they were the best available and am very pleased with them.

I just bought 2 x blue led strips from ebay, link

They're 99p+29p postage each, 30cm long and are waterproof (used for cars normally) and have a sticky back. They can be cut back too...I also got 120cm white LED strips too, but they only come in 30cm lengths for blue.

They do not include a power supply though, but any 12V one would do I think, along with the correct connector for attach to the wire ends...I bought them because I don't want a power supply included, I'm creating a circuit to fade them in and out along with white leds that will hopefully compliment my tubes.

When they arrive I let you know what I think of them, but to be honest if they aren't all that for that sort of money I won't care, I can still rip the LEDs out and use them another way if I have to
