Only had a quick read here, but I would think a higher power submersible LED strip could be effective as main lighting, not just decorative. Think about it, water cooled (don't neet a huge heat sink) & one of the best ways of getting the most out of any light is having it closer to the surface of the water, hence closer to the items you are targeting. Wouldn't it be safe to assume that since it's actually in the water, you're getting more light to your livestock? It wouldn't surprise me that in the future more manufacturers will explore this option. Only real downside would be the loss of 'shimmer'.
