I built my own canopy, again, with a little different design (mostly due to the desire for plenty of clearance for a skimmer and a hang-on fuge).
So, the canopy is built and PC lighting is all installed. Where to get 'moonlights'?
Well a lotta people seem to like the LED's you can get relatively cheaply...and blue is usually used.
So I found this: http://www.xoxide.com/bluledligkit.html
$4 for a little block of 3 blue LED's. I bought 2 of these kits.
These are pre-wired with Molex connectors, which are the little white power plugs inside a computer case. Luckily Xoxide.com also sells this: http://www.xoxide.com/miposunocone.html
plugs into the wall and drops voltage to 12v, and can power 7 of those Lazer LED kits.
I got my kit, and that adapter is nothing more than a cordless phone AC adapter, with the end cut off and rewired to a molex plug. (don't get me wrong, the workmanship is fine, it's just amusing to me).
And there they are...in all their glory.
Total cost for the 2 LED Lazer kits plus the adapter, and shipping, was $21. I made brackets to hold the LED lights from a scrap piece of thick aluminum (from a PC case).
