hi yhere ofl i changed mylighting set up today from the normal basic starter and tube to individual spotlights that fit in side the tank on sucker pads i got 2 blue lights and 1 white ive got them to cast shadows against my mapami ang bog wood wot an awsom look it gives and better still my fish seem to realy like it my oscar is patroling the bottom of the tankand i swear isaw him smile1 lol has anyone else come acros or have simular light set up

I haven't come across this type of lighting before, would like to see some photos if possible. you just want to make sure it doesn'theat the water up too much

i did used floodlight in one of my client's tank but
he switch it on when having visitors only. i like the
effect and shade of swimming fish. but am not comfortable
for the wiring submerges in the water.

in my tank, i used to relocate my lights too. sometimes
i place it at the bottom side to give bottom lights effect too.
but that is outside the tank, not submerge in water

i dont think heat generation will be a problem as each spotlight is about 1 inch square did i mention the blue lights are neon awsom look ill post some pics but as its not strong light the camera doesnt give the full efect they are quiet reasonably priced and come with its own small low voltage transfomer unit you can add more lights if required as they are seperate with own feed i moved them last night and stuck them on the glass runners at top of my tank aimed them down WHAT A DRAMATIC SIGHT AWSOM

Yeah i'd like to see some pictures of these lights, also, where did you get them from? any website i can look at them?
because i might get some.

You are in Exmouth, just down the road from me:)
