Thank you. There is plenty of shimmer effect.Very nice! Does this setup allow for a nice shimmer effect?
I agree. I had both and the waterproof looks a bit warmer than the non-waterproof.The waterproof LEDs seem to be a bit dimmer that the non-waterproof from my experience.
Looks good.
I got the 300. 600 will be overkill as they have twice the LEDs. Link to the identical strip I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/32065534449...l?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=320655344497&_rdc=1Did you use the 300 or 600 led strips? I see that seller has a bunch of different ones. Is there a difference in the ones you got and the waterproof ones? You said you used an old 12v adapter to hook them up, do they come with a plug or do you need anything else to hook them up? Sorry for all of the questions, but this seem like a really great, cheap alternative to all of these expensive units.
The link I posted earlier is the exact same LED I bought. Temperature appears to be at around 5000K (pure white, no hint of blue or yellow whatsoever). My wifi hasn't been stable enough to post a video. Here's a better picture of the tank.Shimmer you say? Guess I'm off to ebay as well!
Could we get a vid of the setup? I'd really like to see how strong the shimmer is. Would you call the color temp warm, neutral or cool? I need to know how much blue I need to balance it; I hate a 'warm white' tank.
Thanks man! Very well done in this.
Good choice. Just make sure you didn't get the 5050 RGB lol. They're very dim.Thanks, I just placed an order and also got the 5050 blue instead of the 3528 since you said you wish you would have gotten that. I also picked up some 12v dc adapters and they come with connectors and a couple of Cree flashlights all from the same seller.
My 3528 LED didn't dim at all. I'm crossing fingers with 5050 but I still have 3/4 of the strip for back up.Be prepared to pick up some new strips in 6 months to a year. Some LED'S stay bright but many will dim considerably. I've done this same thing on quite a few tanks.
