DIY 1.2W LED for feeder/Bichir tank

DIY 1.2W LED for feeder/Bichir tank


Using all spare material, i was able to DIY a lighting for the 2 feet tank.
The original lighting inside caught water and got spoilt long time back.
Originally housing only feeders so lighting was not important.
Only recently got some small Bichir so decided to install a lighting that is cheap and usable.
So, i just use my spare Ikea warmlight LED (one bar of 0.6W and adapter 0.6W total 1.2W power consumption) and spare oyama paper, and of course some silicon to glue the LED to the glass.
Ikea LED is very durable and if i only switch on 5-10 minutes a day on average, it can last a very very long time before i need to tear it down and redo.
Anyway, to do it again only takes less than half an hour with ease.
