Illumilux

Looks pretty sweet.

I'm thinking one of these over a DIY I was considering for my aquapod 12...

Anyone heard of or maybe even seen these yet?

Wonder what sort of front-to-back coverage these things provide. I like the small size and how they can connect end-to-end.

I've seen them

What did you need to know?

@ Brett

Each strip will cover a 4-6" space. Think of them as you would ~1.75 HOT5 strips.

Where did you get to see them?

Im guessin youd need 2 or 3 even for an ap12 to get decent front to back coverage.
