That sucks. You'd think that they could make them with heat resistant plastic. What brand was it? Thanks.

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.

I was going to add some power compact endcaps to my MH fixture but now I'm worried. I guess I have to look really hard for some ceramic ones.
