Lighting for Ray tank

Lunar LED mate they are very good and you won't get anything cheaper that I know of if purchasing purpose built LED for that size of tank. If you do find something cheaper and better let me know as I need to light my new 8 footer but can't afford anything right now.
I have used some cheap self adhesive ones from ebay for now and they are not too bad

Just looked and over £350! They also in multiple strips that I don't like, after a smart self contained unit ideally.
Probably just buy two of the ones I've got then which are Arcadia classica stretch led and clip together somehow.
Really like them on current tank as have a bright setting but also half setting which I use mainly as gives an Amazon style which is perfect for Rays. Are only about £80 each too. Check them out?

Good luck getting a contained unit to cover a wide tank at a decent price. I found I had to look at marine type set ups and 2 or 3 units which meant well over a grand in cost, so I thought the Lunar LED were a good price in comparison. Yes they are multiple strips but I have mounted mine onto a piece of white acrylic and suspended them from ceiling.
I will take a look at the ones you suggest. Have you any pics of your set up with these on please?
Cheers
For an 8 foot I would need 2 of the arcadia units which would cost £220
For an extra 60 quid you get the 8 foot marine set from Lunar which are fully programmable (one plug) and you can get really good spread across the width of the tank

First image is on half and last two on full.
This tank is 30" depth. New tank is 3ft depth mate.
