How To Make Your Own Aquarium Lighting

http://a57dcmv4kje5g-d958rrikstv0.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=WILKESY83

A step-by-step video on how I made LED lighting for the hood of my aquarium cheaply. Please make sure you read the notes at the end, as this lighting is not appropriate for all tanks!

I used white LEDs. Red & Certain blue colours can provide the right wavelengths for photosynthesis in plants, but you will need to research which ones.

I'm not trying to be nasty or anything but wouldn't they run out of power after only 1-2 weeks of use?

@TheRossiboy If you kept them on for a long period of time, I guess they would run down pretty quickly. These are only really meant as a quick & cheap alternative, and when I had them I only put them on for a few hours in the evening. This tank now has a proper electric tank light built into the hood :)

@TheRossiboy Maybe put them all on a 5V DC transformer with a switch? Then you can be rid a replacing costly batteries... :)
