I'm setting up a 120g and the only thing i haven't gotten yet was a moon light and boy is this kool and works Great !!!!!!

p.s. my ikea had them on sale for 29.99 and had blue and white for colours

I've been using those for over 6 months now and havent had any problems with them......other than all four strips are to much light so i only use 2 at a time.

skylord, you've kept this from us for half a year?

Shame! :P

No...I made a post about them in a DIY thread dealing with LEDs. I don't post much but thought that was a good idea...

You can also get those in 16" chunks from princess Auto. theyr 5.97 each. thats what i used for my moon lights. just cut the cigarette adapeter off and heat shrunk it to the end of a 12V adapter.

Do these bring out colours as good as normal actinics??

Curious also if they're white or blue?

the ikea come in green, white and blue...i have the blue ones as well, have for a while now....2 of them penetrate my tank almost too much, and there are 4 of them :)
i like the white ones for viewing the tank when i don't have my halides on.

:D

I think I just added another item to my holiday list. Are these plug-and-play? I make a horrible electrician and would rather not try if there is something easier, haha.

yep, you plug them together if you want to use all four, if not you hook a plug into each one, looks kinda like a mini phone jack, put little plastic end caps on and then your set. I sealed mine with silicone cause they aren't the tightest fit when connected up. you could use electricians tape too i guess...they are bright though for sure, i use them also for stereo lighting....:)
