Perfect cheap LED moonlight solution for Kessils (and others)

[Coelli]

I have been trying to figure out how to do moonlighting with two Kessils mounted to EMT conduit and here it is!

It's a cheap 10-led USB light from eBay; it has about 10" of gooseneck. It was too bright and white so I added a strip of blue vinyl over 9 of the LEDs (I might re-do this so the exposed light is in the middle). The light is perfect and the shimmer is absolutely amazing. I bought a USB extension and plugged it into a USB wall wart. Just wanted to offer this up as a moonlighting solution. I'll post pics of it in action once it's permanently mounted. Total cost around 8 bucks.

Any pics of it on the tank? I've been looking for moonlights for my rimless.

I did a quick video to show the shimmer (it's in a dimly lit room). That's not the final mounting, my tank is still cycling and in disarray so the Kessils aren't permanently mounted and cable-managed yet. I put the moonlight up with velcro strips for the video but once the Kessils are done I'll mount the moonlight in a less mickey-mouse way.
