    I just put in six units out at the PIPAC tank.  I was nervouse at first to see how they would work being mounted in the canopy.  They look great.  There is only a little bit of shadowing at the very top of the tank and the ability to create your own color is fun.  I had the techies at the office download the updates on the controler.  The lightening effect is too cool and the folks out there get a kick out of it.  There are still a ton of options to control with it but for now the lights come on and off at set times and there is a random lightening storm every now and then.  If there is a down side it would be that with the such a pure crisp light, now you can see all the fine particals in the water column.  I good filter sock should take care of that.  I will try to figure out how to post some pics soon.  Someone asked if I had added new fish recently.  Nope, the lights just make more of the fish really pop out at ya.

    I have mine set 10" above the water and that eliminates the shadows. You can get a hold of AI and order wider lenses as well.

    Yea they are! I love LEDs, I don't know if I've told anyone this! haha

    And John, if you think about it, LEDs are a fraction of the cost of comparable lighting(low electricity, no bulb replacement for 10+ years, awesome factor, etc...).
