Moonlights

Looks cool but I worry about the way they are connected to wires, I am a freak about electricity and those connections would give no sleep. But thats just me.

 

I HAVE THIS BLUE ROPE LIGHT THAT I WANT TO USE AS A MOONLIGHT, AND I WANT TO BUT IT IN MY LIGHT FIXTURE. OH i HAVE A 96X4 PC CUSTOME SEA LIFE LIGHTS BUT IT DOES GET HOT IN THERE I CAN FEEL THE HOT AIR BLOWING OUT FROM THE FAN AND IM WORRIED THAT IT MAY BE TO HOT IN THERE, I KNOW ALOT OF PEOPLE USE ROPE LIGHT, DO YOU GUYS HAVE EXPERIENCE W/ THAT. ALSO DO YOU THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO JUST SUCTION CUP IT TO THE GLASS CANOPY.

 

OH P.S. THE DIY MOONLIGHT LOOKS GREAT NUGIO

 

Thanks joero178.
I was worried about that too Dave but I shrinked wrapped connections all the way onto LED then wrapped the two wires with electical tape

 

That looks amazing......WOW....Karma for an awesome job.....So, a few questions..
1)do you have an open top tank?
2)Are then Led's just hanging over the water

 

Thanks for the karma!

The tank is open and I stapled them to the top.
What I really like about them is that they are positionable they act like mini spot lights

 

has anybody tried any other moonlights other than DIY.

should not be an issue to attach it to the fixture. Just watch it for a day. PC don't get that hot and if you have a fan in the fixture thats a plus.

Nugio... great job again. Let use know when the clowns spawn.

 

So, I have a 55 gallon with no canopy on it...I just have my coralife 48" PC setup sitting on the top of the tank..I really have no idea how im going to run these lights and attach them...anyone have any ideas or am i looking at building a canopy?which id rather not do

 

If anybody is looking for any blue led's...email me at chrischick74@yahoo.com .I bought some from a shop close to me and will be selling them to you guys for 1.75$usd and they are better then the ones that sell at radio shack for 3.99$ Usd. The ones at radio shack are 3000mcd....plus the small amount it costs to mail them. Let me know if your interested guys..I have 40 of them left and they are 6000mcd so they are extra bright adn will look awesome.
