Christmas lights, would it work?

[Dr Joe]

Okay, not to sound dumb, but how are they safer? (not saying they aren't, I'm just asking)
The ones I was looking at say indoor/outdoor, should I find something strictly for outdoor or will those work? And I don't' have a string of leds, but a string of 200 regular lights is just about perfect, so I am guessing you're right on the money with the string of 100 since the leds are brighter.

Also, I had planned on getting white and then blue for moon lights, is the red better, or is that instead of the white sometimes? I will hopefully have catfish in here, so they will be nocturnal fish, and I've seen the red lights for sale, just had no idea what they were for...

LEDs are low voltage lights, hence the better safety factor.

Unless you find super bright LEDs, the LEDs are dimmer than incandescent lamps (old style christmas lights)

Try the blue LEDs first and see how the catfish react, red gives a weird look to the tanks too.
