Moon Rope lights

Has anyone with the rope lights istalled got any pictures? I was cosidering usig them but I dont know if they might be to bright... I have some purple rope lights laying arounnd somewhere... I might exeriment with these and if I like then Ill go buy the blue

 

what about the spectrum, any chance of getting some funky algea??

 

no worries about the algae, Ice, they arnt that bright, to worry about feeding the algae

i recently changed to the rope lighting, will post a pic Wed, i had 17 5000mcd LCDs on the tank, and as i must admit i like the look of the LEDs a bit better

with the LEDs you could aim the light at any given point, i had one of them aimed at one of my Zoanthid frags, looked very cool

with the rope light, it actually gives the whole tank a glow, instead of certin spots, which is kinda cool, have to wait till they come on till i can post a pic then american idol comes on, gota watch that

i might go back to the LEDs, just not sure

TD karma coming your way...American idol LOL.
I have mine on from 9 to 1 am and never had algae.
They are not bright at all but enough light to see everything and I would say they are a soft light.
Don't know for sure that this did not help in making by clowns spawn.

Home depot carries these as a stocked item so they are not seasonal. they have the clear white and red. Little lights in a thick plastic blue rope is all they are.

 

For those of you that aren't near home depot or just don't like leaving the hous I found this site and am ordering on next week The nice part is they will make to length any size you want.

Ok, what is the diffrence in a rope light than using a standard 40 watt blue party bulb with a dimmer? With the dimmer I could make the light follow the pattern of intensity of the moon?

 

IVE SEEN ROPE LIGHT ON THE INTERNET BUT ITS 1 BULB PER IN ~0.5W PER BULB. FOR A 6FT ROPE LIGHT THATS 36W!!!! ISNT THAT QUITE A BIT FOR MOONLIGHT. MOST MOONLIGHTS ARE ONLY 1-2WATTS PER 2FT OF TANK
