Using LED as tank lights

Wow, that is pricey, but totally cool.
 
There are white leds that produce daylight spectrum. There is just not a whole lot of them available, and it is rather expensive to setup. And if your doing it yourself its a lot of wiring. I think eventually they will become a lot more popular once there are more choices in higher powers that are more reasonably priced.

My light system includes some LED's to be used at night but they don't light up anything...I have 4 pointing down toward the tank and all I have is 4 blue dots...LED light doesn't spread throughout the tank well.

Your lights may be to close to the tank.

I have two Moonlight LED's over my 20gal. and they work great. I can see the fish swimming around and the white sand looks great! Plus you get a cool ripple effect on the substrate and on the ceiling. Thing is...I built a stand for my two that raises them about 6" above the aquarium. Plus I don't have glass between the lights and the tank. I love it!
