Anyone ever use spot or flood lights on an aquarium? Pictures needed.

Considering flood/spot lights and wanted to see some tanks with them in use (If there are any).

Thanks

I'm using LED flood lights...

Any photos would be great..

How do you like the look of the lights?

I like them. They give off a very natural sunlight effect. Here is a short clip. [YT]rcX1Vw1XdEI[/YT]

That looks great! LED's last forever and don't give off heat. Do you have more details on those flood lights?

 

[frnchjeep]

Sure. 75 gallon has two. I'm thinking I'm going to do 3-4 on my 220 when it is finished.

How far above the water do you mount them? There's two types: Warm White and White. Which one did you use?

 

[frnchjeep]

They are mounted about 6 to 7 inches up. If you mount them too close, they leave dark spots in the tank. They accidently sent me the warm white ones, which are actually yellow, and they look terrible. Definitely need the white ones.

Awesome thanks..

Looks great.

The problem with traditional floodlights I've used for like garage projects is they get really hot. LED obviously doesn't have that problem.
