Anyone out there use Moon Lights?

It would make a nice transition for a few hours after the MH lights kick off.

thanks

well not of mine but heres an example of one like it. They come in a few different configurations but they're all basically the same. different colors, different sizes, different casing/mounting.

Mine is nearly as fancy, I just use a 15w Blue Party Bulb from Wal-Mart.

I originally used a regular 15w aquarium bulb that you would find in cheap aquariums. They can be dimmed with the moon cycles. I recently purchased blue LED's from an EBay seller that offers a kit to wire your own light for 25.00. I thought it would be fun to do. He has created excellent instructions and even provides a soldering iron with the kit. If you are the least bit inclined you might give it a try. There are others up for auction that are already preassembled on EBay for around 40.00 for a series of 4 lights. I will let you know how mine turn out.
