    Default Ikea LED Lights

    Remember seeing LED light a year ago at Ikea. Decided to check back. Spent $39.99 on a set of 4 10" strip RGB with colour controller and transformer.

    Not too bright but with white it may be good enough for fish only. Nevertherless, cheap night light when turned to deep blue - real cool when turned to red or green

    It comes with 4 strip and for cables so you can provide light to 4 small tanks for $39.99.

    Also picked up 36" strip LED fir inside by breeding station for a mere $12.99. Light is yellowish though.

    I used 3 sections of the 4 strip kit to light my old 90g when I had dats. Enough light for them. in blue it would probably make a decent moonlight too.

    So with that 4 strip LED, we can set the color to be blue/red/green with the controller right? "drooling"

    Totally agree! I got the soft strip with 3M adhesive for easy installation last week and was planning to share it here. Procrastinator that I am, GKLAW beat me to it. LOL

    Imagine Rainbow colors... you can set the color according to your taste. I prefer the blue and the green. The White light isn't that white though - kinda bluish, but you can't beat that price... $39.99!

    Well, that's why we have night lights for our aquarium? My fish have not complaint for over 10 years Save energy for me as well, I don't have to turn on and off the hall way light.

    They certainly know they are on especially when I put food in for the bottom feeders at night.
