I got some cheap LED strips at Princess Auto. The are completly sealed and waterproof 12v ones for automotive use. I zip tied them directly onto the eggcrate covers on my tank. My first set of moonlights burt out early from the heat from my MHs too. I had them mounted on the bottom edge of my light hood.

That's too bad. You're not an idiot, just inexperienced! No matter how many good reefers there are, they always are learning something new in this fascinating money pit of a hobby. Just try again. This time don't try and burn down the house.
