Tom619 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 found this at walmart for $8 in the car department. you can angle each light. found this cigarette adapter at the 99cent store next door ..............for uh..... 99cents. it looks like something walmart should carry too, but i found it at 99c first! DONE . lol Results? VOILA!!!!! it was one of the strongest moonlights i ever had! GLOWING!! - Now the tank is just as a show at night as in the daytime. I angled them at the frogspawns and other luminescent corals. - Makes the greens greener, blues bluer, and oranges... orangier, etc.. it's not just a flat blue w/ other moonlight brands. - my orange monti caps glows a very strong tangerine color, but my cheapo camera couldn't get a justifiable picture (looks like a good-lookin ric). ...blows this P.O.S. away ! (which was already installed b4 adding the new lights). it was sooo weaaak compared to the walmart light. (on sale on Dr.F&S for $15/unit + $11 link + $9s/h) . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I would probably do around 4 sets then.......with one of those lame car outlet splitters.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaceyJ Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I picked up a set of custom 10X custom blue wideangle leds from a guy who makes them on ebay. I will have to take pics tonight. I installed them where the 8 built in white moonlights were, drilled 2 holes and put the fixture back together. Very clean look, all wiring is inside the light fixture. He even includes mounting supplies. I think it was about $40, and lights my 125gl great at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhart032 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I used 10mm ultra bright blue LEDs and 47ohm resisters and a 3.7v power supply took me 30 mins and cost me 9 bucks to make a 6 light strand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
