PVC lighting Setup

Unread post by ishaan »

Was thinking to make a lighting setup for my tank from a long time and i won't say its my idea , it is taken from an iah member's post. Finally i was on a bunk from collage today so went to market to get the stuff required.
Pipe Size: 1ft length and 4inch thickness
Lighting: 1*8watt T5
Reflector: Silver foil
Rishav did the work of painting it and here are the pics of final outcome

i wanted to but the leds are very costly and their drivers are even more costlier, but i am working on making a moonlight using light emitting diode/ 5mm leds. Cheaper option if it works :LOL

not very easy , cutting the pipe from centre to make to halfs of it is the most difficult job in this whole setup :ugeek:
