    we have explored this - doesnt work unless you used the very high wattage LEDs that cost +- R250 each.... ask Zafgak on the forum - he will tell you all

    works GREAT as moonlights - but it doesnt really cut it for plants etc unless you have a lense over each of the 5 watt LEDs

    Where are these guys based, and is this something you'd easily find at a signage shop perhaps?

    i had a mister from a water feature and knowing that it came from china the misting function does not work . so i bought an air curtain by hagen and created an asome effect with alternating colors it looks great in the dark
