Wink Diy Led Light

So just wanted to add a post here about Diy led lights. I recently purchsed 12 royal blue cree leds from Rapidled.com. Wow super fast shipping I think they arrived in a day two at most. So I received the lights a power cord pre tinned wires to connect the leds together and a heat sink. Well guess what I dont know diddly squat about circuits or electricity, the most I have ever done is turn on a light switch. At any rate after about 6 or 7 e-mails back and forth to Mike at rapidled, who I might add replied back to me nearly immediately every time, seriously I think he sits there waiting for an e-mail to come in (when does he sleep) bravo by the way Mike. Anyway Mike sent me diagrams and insructions for everything I needed and I hooked up and installed my supplemental led actinic lighting wow what a difference. These lights are super bright and really bring out the phosphourescence in the corals. Anyway just wanted to let everyone know if your thinking of doing an led light stop waiting its super easy with the help from rapidled. You won't regret it. Thanks for reading
