moonlight

[dr evil]

Hi guys,

Any of you u using moonlight in your tank? Off the rack or diy ones? or do u think installing a moonlight is a waste of time ? And $$ ?

Im asking this cause im able to source a good, cheap, strong (3x1watts led) moonlight.

This set can be double sided tape to your fixture, mount on a hood etc....some pics i took with the led on...

It also can be hook up to a few sets....

Pics showing 2 sets

1set (3x1watts led) with adapter is slightly above sgd20. All hook up. Issit cheap?

I spent lest than $10 DIY myself the moon night. take alook at the link.

put it over the tank would be better, to let them see the effects.. a pic tells a thousand words.

btw, i see 6 LEDS, i dun think there are 6 moons right???

Moon lights are cool stuff! I'm thinking of either DIYing one or buying one set off the shelf. Give my tank a nice romantic feel to it.

this set come 3x1watts led with 1 set....just got 2 sets to try out on my own tank...

maybe pics will tell a thousand words....

[keithtty]

Can it in some way be mounted on the pendant?

[dr evil]

yes, it can be mounted (double side tape) but it will have a wire to the adapter.

[kelstorm]

double side tape is good.. but if the lights are too hot, will it melt the tape?.. causing it to be unstable?

I made my LED moonlight for S$12.50 but I have 30 LEDs.

But mine "died" because I didn't cover it properly. The metal contacts corroded. One thing I don't like about the LEDs is that each LED light is focused to a spot. I would like to find some opaque material that "spreads" / diffuses the light to a larger area.

Any ideas?

DE, I personally believe that moonlights does, in a way, stimulate reproduction in certain corals.

However, I don't see the need for adding as many moonlights as possible (like what some had done) as we might as well use an actinic tube right?

[dandelion76]

Good price! Save all the trouble to solder, to cover it and to water proof it..

Anyway, too late, I diyed liaoz. I am using 3 LED directing towards the spider reflector to get a good spread..

Very satisfied with it..

[blueheaven]

Wah not bad

Use the reflector to its fullest

Dr Evil- should combine it with your DE-luminarc for a killer combo. Built in moonlights will be killer.

Bro i interested in yr moonlight but my tank is 4 FT tank so need how much if i order from u???

[cityofangels]

dr evil: Perhaps a picture of the moonlights in action will alleviate your sales.

[dr evil]

ok, will install the moonlight in my tank...

will use 2 sets for my 4 footer. stay tune

[cityofangels]

Cool.. I will be waiting for the pics! I have a 4footer myself. Would love to see the difference the moonlight makes.

[riot]

I dont think the camera can pick up much. The LEDs will create a very dim glow, so you can barely make out the fish and stuff. If it lights up the whole place, then its as good as regular FLs or T5s. Too glaring and distracting.

for 5ft and 6ft, i think a spread of 3 sets will be nice......

Like riot mention, u only have some blue hue on your tank to mimic the moonlight...nothing much to show..

Just some nice affect
