Dimming kit goes inside. Take a look at the full instructions link. About half way down you will see where I installed the dimmers.

Why would a strip of 1W LEDs be necessary?

You certainly do not need any additional lumens but I think its more for eliminating shadows if you have tall rock work.

Cool, that sure makes things nice and easy! Nice write up!

Are you planning on doing a RSM 250 kit also?

martinmcnally · #18 12-11-2011, 11:43 PM

Yes I am going to make a 250 kit as soon as th holidays are over.

Awesome. Definately interested in this kit when my lights are up for renewal...( in a few months) lol. I'll keep this in mind. As for the stunner strips, I don't see why you need them cause you don't have them with the PC. Unless its for like you said to eliminate shadows with tall rock work.

Looking forward to pics of a running tank!!!

Here's a picture and a couple of videos of Martin's kit on my 130D. At the time of these images the tank was in early DUSK mode (blues only) so everything looks a bit more blue/deep than it does during other times of the day.
