Ned to know how to add actinic to pendant

I have a Sunlight Supply Lumen Max 2 (Single Ended Mogul Base Reflector) pendant suspending over my tank. There is no actinic supplementation over my tank (Solana 34 which I use as my frag tank). I enjoy the look of actinics before and after the MH lights come on. How can I add actinics? I was thinking about fastening two stunner LED strips on, but I think the heat would significantly shorten the life of the LEDs. Anyone have any ideas?

I have Lumen Bright Minis, and that is exactly what I did. I love the color of my corals doing this. And although not enough light to grow anything my corals are all open under these lights. Plus it gives me an additional 4 hours of enjoyment with no heat and very little energy used

Alton, did you use the stunners or another brand?
