they run optimal on 12v, but it's WAY too bright.

I ran mine off 4.5V, because 9v was too bright. I think if you're using two of these lights, try to run them 3 volts each. I used a reflector on mine, because I wanted the light to be shielded from the eyes, making it easier for the eyes to adjust to the dark. I still don't have it positioned over the tank well though.

most cell phone chargers are 5v. some are 4.5v
