I wanted some LEDs to make some color pop and was wanting it on the cheap. So decided to check out what EBAY had to offer. They have all kinds of cool stuff but ended getting this:

If you want something to help with color popping then these work great - only when the MH lights go off though. They overpower but I'm sure you can find something that may work a little better. Very satisfied for $10 bucks. Took a while coming from China but it was worth the wait.

Are these the lights that are putting off a blue tint on all the live rock in the pic of Roos 29gallon thread ? Are they plug and play ?

That's the oddysea T5s mainly plus a phone camera and I got a 20k bulb. I like blue though. Can't really get a good pic with just the LEDs on. Couldn't go wrong with it for 10. It's completely waterproof with an adhesive backing. Didn't stick the pendant for to long. So added velco and seems to be doing the trick. It's also ultra thin. Oh and plug and play.

Looks like they will be good for a moonlight. I don't think you will notice much with daylights on. Keep us updated please.
