blue LED strip lights
Why can't the low wattage blue LED sold at Lowes/Home Depot in the christmas lighting area be used for a moon light effect? They come in 50 Led's/16' and dissipate very little power but thes LED & operating cost is very low. Thanks, Jim

The lights are indoor/outdoor and the bulbs are oon 4" centers. In my case I would have two 70" runs which would have the lamps @ a 2 3/4" center thereby having the wire 'wrap back 5/8" (to allow for the excess wire). There would be two splices (running acroos the tank width once). Unless I hear otherwise, I'll try out a set. Thanks, Jim
