TrueLumen Aquatic 10-Inch 4-453nm Blue LED Strip

TrueLumen Aquatic 10-Inch 4-453nm Blue LED StripHi,

I have 28 of these LED lights on my tank so far; so 7 strips. I buy them for around $37-$40. I first saw them being sold locally for over $100(much cheaper online). The lights are 3 Watts each, so each strip is 12 Watts. The blue(453nm) strips make coral glow extremely well. I haven't tried the white, or mixed strips yet; however, I definitely recommend the blue strips.

You will also need 1 power supply, and some 3-way splitters. I have one Truelumen power supply, and 3 Truelumen splitters; been running them since October 2011 with no problems. I have tried several other LED options that are currently on the market, and they were all terrible; most are only 1 watt, or are the wrong color-hue.

In my opinion, there are only two realistic options....either get these and add them to your existing fixture, or save up for a $700+ Ecotech fixture (which you will need two of if you have a 48"+ wide tank).

Currently have a 29 gallon BioCube, which comes with a built-in compact fluorescent lighting system. These LED have been a great upgrade for me as I added 3 strips of the Actinic Blue LED's to compliment my CF's. It completely changes the tank! If you want that shimmering effect these LED's will not disappoint. As for the the comment that they burn out, I've had mine for over a year and no burn outs, maybe it was just a bad strip. I have a Dual Timer that keeps all the lighting in my tank controlled for a more consistant amount of light and maximum life expectancy all-around. In short I highly recommend this system if you want to make great LED upgrades with out taking a huge hit to the wallet.

very bright and good but it was to long for my Fluval Edge Tank so i had to bend it a bit so it would fit, but after a month 3 out of the 4 leds stopped working..so dont buy unless u have a huge ass tank for example a 20gallon tank or bigger
