TrueLumen Aquatic LED Strips 10-Inch 2xrose 2x12k LED Strip

This little strip is a perfect supplement to other lighting. It is surprisingly bright for a 3 watt LED (total, not per LED), and the rose color adds "pop" to typically red deficient LED lighting in freshwater planted tanks.

One of my tanks is a 35 gal hex with a plastic hood. It only provides for a single strip light, which is not adequate for my tastes. Initially, I did some surgery that let me install a second florescent strip. That helped, but it wasn't until I converted both florescent strips to LEDs that I was finally able to get satisfactory illumination.

Still, because of the hood design, a shadow remained at the front of the tank. Enter the TrueLumen LED Strip. Its water resistant design allows it to be installed under the front opening access panel on the hood, where it fills in the shadow and illuminates the fish when they swim to the front. It also improved the overall color balance in the mid and lower regions of the tank where it blends with the other LEDs.

The downside is that these are pretty pricey for the amount of light produced. In addition to cost of the light, you also have to buy a power supply (and a splitter if you need more than one strip). But they solved my problem better than any other available option, so were worth the cost to me.

Nice and bright. Perfect for the DYI light hood. No problem growing plants in my small 6gallon. Draw back--need to also purchase power supply.
