Fishtank night/mood light
I created this design to place a ledstrip into a spare standard T5 TL fixing, as our fishtank has two and one has become spare due to a high power led light.
We use it specifically for night lighting as the ledstrip is not powerfull enough to be visible when our daylight led lighting is on.
This fixing was designed for as 1047mm T5 light replacement, but could be used with other lengths as well, when the ledstrip and AL profile are modified.
Update:
In included some images of the Led strip in action.
We set the strip to a blueish light as the moonlight also is a blueish light color.
However our the RGB controller does not seem to be able to provide an accurate led current overtime as the light be came to bright and we now have blue light.
Which also works very well in practice by the way, the nocturnal fish are very good to see.
