I am upgrading my vivs and wanted to install LED strips. Could anyone recommend a good place to purchase them? I was looking at ebay but could only find blue or the white lights without the power adaptor.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

i too noticed the white was blueish but as stuart says there is a preset that gives a great natural light. |

Well I ordered a set of LEDs from ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200653209883
I must say I am really impressed. I love the remote and although the white is more blue, it is easy to get it right by mixing the colours. Really pleased... Just need to get another 3 sets now and then I'm set  |

well this arrived today and i think its perfect. its above the mesh in the lid and gives the tank a dim light effect

I got my LED lights from Wilkinsons for under £5 if I remember rightly, although I did have to buy batteries for them. They're fantastic! Bright and efficient. |

I got a couple of sets of these from IKEA after recommendations on this forum.
Three pluggable strip sections so can fit any size of viv. Nice white light.
