LED Spot?

revhtree · Dec 20, 2007

I have seen some of your threads wondering how to do homemade LED stuff and I ran across this item and wondered what you thought you might could do with it if anything.

yikes, expensive........

i still think these things are best for moonlights, as they diffract the light around instead of straight down like a spot light.

Well alot of japanese tanks use different colored spots to bring out colors out of certain corals. Example:They use red especially on birdsnest and pink stylos. Thats why there pictures look photoshopped because the light makes them look nicer.

personaly I think that would be a great cheap light for a colum or hex tank but not very effective on a long tank I will admit in my experiement with led it did give that simmer effect of mh lighting

sadly, i don't have them hooked up at the moment......hopefully i will one day though...lol at the moment i don't have anywhere to plug them in.

i used to have them hooked up on my nano tanks, but i took them off after moving several times.

i was using the 3-LED dome's......and for $5/each, you really can't go wrong by trying a few out. just gota wire them up to a transformer and plug in the wall.
