    Just looking for ideas on supplemental actinic lighting for a 20 high. Just want to be able to flip my regular non adjustable Kessil off and make stuff glow at night for a bit. Any ideas?

    The blue LED lights in the automotive section at Walmart work pretty well. Not really actinic but very blue.

    Waterproof 5050 rgb led strips on eBay work very well and can have all kinds of colors, can be cut to any length and only 25 bucks for all necessary parts.that's what I have for night lights and works great.

    Ended up going to Home Depot and they had the twin to yours. Granted they were about $20 more but I didn't have to wait. [​IMG]
