DIY moonlight

for the light strip, when you plug them in they turn on, no switch, so you would need a timer to control it.

 

I found these blue led's on ebay i wanted to know if someone could check them out and tell me if there good because there cheap.blue leds

 

3 bucks for 10 bulbs cheap compared to 5 for one at RS. Id go for it

 

he also has the same bulbs on auction which are at 1 dollar but i dont feel like being patient

 

those LEDs arnt bad, mine are 5000mcd, but 3000mcd will work

right now i have ropelights on the tank, i will get a pic if you guys want me to

O, and the only problem with using the xmas lights is that they are designed to project the light around and not down, or at a specific point
think of it as a spot light compared to a regular light bulb, they can be used, if they are UL listed for external use, and they will give you about the same look as the rope lighting
