New Reefer needs some help

LeonPhelps · 01/15/2010, 11:40 AM

Hey guys, I have a dumb question. So I have a 24 gallon aqua pod with moon lights built into the hood. They are just little LED's. Well they are both out, and I was hoping someone would know if I can just get some blue LED's from walmart or something. Any ideas just let me know.

I dunno.....but there are some LED experts on here. You just need to find them and pm them your question.

If you have a batteries plus (which in Indy you should) check them out. I was told that they carry any color you would want.

Do you have the 12v power supply for the moonlights?...I would check to see if it's bad first I think...I would be surprised if the LED's themselves are bad.

Yeah the power supply is good, I put a voltmeter on it to make sure. One light has been out for a month or so, and the other one just went out. I have just been searching for 2 new bulbs, but wasn't sure if its just a plain old LED bulb, which it sounds like it is. Thanks for the help guys.
