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.

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.

Not sure I'm certified to use glue, when the glue is attaching anything to do with wires. I really hate wires. A lot.
