Ok, so I like moon lights. I wanted them on my tank but did not want the ugly wires that see with the cheap sets. So I retrofitted them in to my 30" coralife light. I took a lot of time but it was worth it, here are some pics of the work. The final photo is a little fuzzy.

Nice
I made one for my 20g-long.
White leds, plexiglass and an old dc supply.
Not permanent, it's moveable.
It's fresh water and I like the white.

Do you have a conexion diagram of it, how many and type of leds you used? Thanks nice set up

Sorry no diagram. I just removed the ballasts and the switch assembly drilled the holes, inserted the lights and reassembled. I used the ebay diy moon light kit that took the guess work out of the wiring. It was also cheaper than buying the stuff at fry's. I used 20 5mm led's, what made big difference was ordering the 5mm led clips they don't come with the kit and are hard to work with out. The connection are easy plug the transformer in a make sure the led is in the right way and solder. The transformer knocks the voltage down to 5v not enough to even feel.

do you think this is do-able with LED outdoor Xmas lights?

 

[chagovatoloco]

That might work but they will be longer and hard to mount.

 

[Sunstar]

I'll keep that in mind. I got xmas LED blues under my sofa... I pimped my couch.

If you can pimp a sofa I guess you can pimp a lite strip.
