Cheap LED lights?????????????

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Cheapest way would be to make them yourself is imagine. Otherwise they aren't terribly cheap unfortunately. When you look at LED your looking at the long term cost saving in lower power usage and no bulb replacement. Going cheap on a money saving investment could be a mistake.

I should have said a cheaper way or maybe a website I'm just looking for cheaper than your common large retail pet store would charge.

I understand. I'm a frugal college student so I look to save any way I can. That said it appears to be a relatively undeveloped system. Making your own would be the most efficient and guides exist. If your looking for a brand beamswork and marineland seem to be relatively similar for freshwater, salt water I can't be sure of. Beamswork double bright are something I've been looking at recently.
 
I'm also a frugal college student man haha, I did notice a $90 48" Marineland fixture on DrFosterSmith.com that's not to bad. I have put together fixtures before but never LED any good guide suggestions?
 
Depends on how much light you're looking for. A $30 roll of white ribbon LED lights stapled to a hood and a $20 12v transformer works well for general lighting. Plenty of cheap options depending on what your hood looks like and how handy you are.
