Default LED supplementation

Ok, moving on now, I would like to add a strip of blue LED to my T5 that is controllable via my Apex. I have trouble operating electrical tape, so out of box solutions would be best.
Any ideas??

I have 4 Ecoexotic Panorama Pros that are not being used right now. I will part with 2 of them. They're the RGB.

How would they interface with the Apex?

I dunno. I'm not up on those controllers. I just used a timer to run mine before I got the Ecoexotic One-touch Controller piece of junk. I noticed Mike using the RGB Controller in a pic on your other thread. That'd go with it.

I think I need something 1-10v controllable, as I want to recreate my missing sunrise/sunset dimming. I don't think these would work..

I would try the ones from buildmyled.com I saw them at macna and were nice(a bit pricy) but you can customize color and they are 1-10v controllable straight out the box. The tiltable mount is a nice thing as well. Was planning on bringing them in but haven't gotten around to it, but very nice product.

Hi Brad.

Does this mean anything? I don't know anything about LEDS but am going to order a Panorama Marine to supplement my T5s.

A little bulky for what I need. Ideally a single narrow strip that I can mount to the T5 fixture is what I'm looking for.
