How are you doing with them? Do you like them?
Honestly?
They're OK.
Best LEDs I've tried so far.
The T5's, to me had such a pleasing, soft gentle vibe and I'm trying to duplicate that.
You have to be careful or everything turns purple, which I don't like.
But what I do like is the mount, which barely fit and how clean it is compared to the old T5's which just sat on the top of the tank.
