Keep us posted...do you need a driver or anything to run these things? I am assuming so?

 

[Tjend]

yeah i ordered a driver, im hoping it fits inside the hood so i wont have to make a case for it, it shouldnt be too big though, i should be getting some corals in tomorrow so ill probably add more pics tomorrow as well

Sweet...I am looking to go LED on my planted tank...hoping that these guys work for you, I think that they should.

[FLESHY]

They should open up once they get proper lighting.

well after a few hours of work its all done, LEDs installed and holy cow LED is the way to go !! after getting shocked a couple times and blinding myself it was still worth doing it myself, the total cost for the leds and driver was like 25$. When testing them i blew one of the white LEDs but its fine its plenty bright. only problems are the driver didnt fit in the hood,and the power compact takes up a lot of room so the LEDs had to go further back and there isnt much LED light in the front, and my eyes are still a little burnt, kind of like welding without a mask . all the corals responded instantly the tank has a nice shimmer effect and is a very pretty purpleish color. the pics dont do it justice. The LEDs give off less heat then the PC bulb, here are some pics.
