Guys,

Can anybody here make me "smarterer" with respect to DIY wall wash lighting?

Here's my application: I have a nano planted tank build in the works and am contemplating backlit wall wash style of lighting. The aquarium is the UNS 45T (45 cm in length) and that is where I am limited in terms of an off the shelf commercial product. Most of these wall wash light strips are minimum of 24" inches long and that is obviously too long for a 45 cm tank.

So, I am brainstorming ideas for building my own using trimmable LED strip lighting.

Has anybody built something similar (aquarium or a different application)?

TIA
