LED on nano

Great idea!

Ummm...no write up for me. I dropped mine in my tank. Wait, I can tell you that it looked like it was going to be a HUGE step up from the stock pc fixture.

So they are not waterproof?

rinse in RODI then place in a bag of rice. If they were not powered up when they got wet you may still be ok...

I've dropped my stunner strips, while on, in the tank. They still worked! Just try to let it dry out, do what cd said, and try again.

Good call about the rice. I might still try that even though it 's two days later. Unfortunately, it was on when it took a dip.

x2 on the rice, I have a cheapo menards led fixture over my non photo tank and the connector thing didn't make the move well or something, I've dropped it into the tank while on two times now. And grabbed it out without getting electrocuted lol. If that doesn't work, you can always have my bulb instead, I don't know how soon or ever if I will get to use it and you need one now.

Well if it's been 2 days it should start showing sediment lelt over from it drying easier clean up, because you can see the sediment.then Rice it

I'll rice it and see if it makes a comeback. Thanks, GP for the offer, I will likely do that if this one doesn't make a comeback.

Now you tell me. I just dropped my small strip in. In trying to dry out the connector I broke off the pin, where it plugs into the cord. Maybe I can have it rewired?

Don't remember where I heard this but your suposed to dip in fresh water and then dip in alcahol.

I got a nice gooseneck floor lamp from Wally World. It has a huge plastic shade and the LED bulbs we got from Cammie works fine. However, after using it this week I have green algae growing on the back of my tank, one patch of big algae, turned pure white, and my biggest mushroom leapt off it's perch and is hiding behind my rock work. It's a great light, but seems way to bright for a 20 gallon. I will keep it, though, always plan to expand. But the gooseneck lamp is easy to adjust and looks good. You all might take a look at the lamp if you need something like it. The switch is a 3 way, so it doesn't turn on on the first click.
