The store I work at sells them and I took one out of the box and messed with it for a bit. They have a super narrow beam so on something like a 5g they are going to put down 4 shafts of light rather than lighting up an area. I suppose you could try putting a bunch of the modules on the tank raised up a bit but you'd need 10 of the things to light it up decently.

ok, after looking at some threads about DIY LED..i don't think its a job for a 13 year old to be doing

this isn't looking too promising, but i'll keep looking. please tell me if you see something that would work
