I have an Red Sea Max 130D and wanted more of the blue actinic look for when the main compact fluorescents were not turned on (the standard moon lights that comes with the tank are two wimpy small blue LEDs). This light bar fits in light housing perfectly! I had to wire it to a DC wall adapter, but even the most novice electrician can do this (some electrical tape, wire stripper, scissors, and crimp connectors - some shrink tubing if you want to get fancy) and then screw the two mounting brackets in to the metal light deflector. The light is the perfect wavelength (453) to get the fluorescent colors of the coral to pop - the also give a nice shimmer on the sand bed and do not have a spotlight effect. the light is FAR brighter than i expected (which is a good thing for the application i wanted) - If you are going with a smaller tank (<40 gallon), these are much brighter than "moonlights" and will keep your fish and coral awake until they turn off.

They have been installed for 3 weeks now and not one problem - highly recommended

The light is very compact and bright. Unfortunately the design is cheap and LEDs are not cooled properly. Even if you power it at the lowest voltage rated (10V) and the strip is mounted on flat conductive surface, the LEDs will dim down very significantly after a few minutes of turning it ON. If you try powering it at 24V, LEDs will dim dow to about 10% of the initial light output in less than 30 s.
Not recommended.

I bought this product to use as moonlighting for my saltwater aquarium and it works great. Easy to wire up and does what I wanted to do.

when I got the package everything was in tact but when i opened the package the wire lead to bare copper wire with no plug to go into the outlet. so I got one at home depot and the light doesn't work... what do I do with 30 dollars gone and nothing to show for it?

I had read reviews that these lights have a range of output frequencies that are similar to natural or incandescent light. However, skin colors under this light do not look natural. Returns are not accepted.

This light requires a 12 volt ( actually a range around 12volts is fine) input.
