Ikea / Tank Lighting

[skylord]

I've been using those for over 6 months now and havent had any problems with them......other than all four strips are to much light so i only use 2 at a time.

skylord, you've kept this from us for half a year?

Shame! :P

No...I made a post about them in a DIY thread dealing with LEDs. I don't post much but thought that was a good idea...

You can also get those in 16" chunks from princess Auto. theyr 5.97 each. thats what i used for my moon lights. just cut the cigarette adapeter off and heat shrunk it to the end of a 12V adapter.

Do these bring out colours as good as normal actinics??

Curious also if they're white or blue?

the ikea come in green, white and blue...i have the blue ones as well, have for a while now....2 of them penetrate my tank almost too much, and there are 4 of them
i like the white ones for viewing the tank when i don't have my halides on.
