Led track lighting

samjpikey · 03-02-2013, 09:01 PM

Has any body thought about using led track lighting ??

Easily available in all shapes and sizes , simple track,driver and mounting with no fans needed, you can clip and un clip the LEDs as you please,
I have just built and hung my own diy led fixture but if I thought about these then I would have personal gone with it instead of the old soldering etc etc .

The link and pic is just an example not that I would recommend the set up .

The basic idea looks good to me. But, of course it is the details that matter. Do you hhve a link to the LED lights that go with that?

I wouldn't use a 2800K light on a planted tank because it would look very yellow to me, and I prefer my light to seem very white. The description of that LED bulb doesn't mention lumens, so I don't know if it is bright enough to work, but the basic idea will certainly work.

Sorry that was just a generic bulb.

I think a standard gu10 bulb works .
The fact that you can just clip and un clip the lights fittings/bulbs as you please from the track makes it very versatile to achieve low/med/high light on each tank,
You just have to make the basic track up with 90degree bends and hang it,
As these are designed to hang from ceilings etc it should be easy
