Very interesting. I just checked the Ikea website, they only show a round version of the lights but with the same controller. What do you mean by "flexible"?

What are the 2 buttons on the controller on either side of the on/off switch?

What is your last photo of?

I'm trying to get some metallic GSP to grow on a nice big shell, it's just tossed in for now.

The 2 buttons are a fading color change function and an abrupt color change function.

The last pic is the JBJ ballast with the 9V transformer removed and a Leviton timer wired and installed right in the ballast.

They are pretty bright and the ability to choose any color as an accent color is unique.

The IKEA website shows a version that has a flexible strip as opposed to the solid strips. Everything else looks to be the same.

That pic is with the PC lights on? What kind of penetration with just the LED's?

Could you snap a couple of pics and go through the color wheel? This seems almost too good to be true.
