Hi folks, I'm a long-time reader, first-time poster.
I'm moving my algae scrubber to run off my drain lines instead of return line. I want to go to LEDs on the new scrubber, and I found these e27 bulbs online:
http://m.aliexpress.com/item/690567731.html
They come with either 2 red and 1 blue (6w total) or 3 red and 2 blue (10w total) priced at $3-6 per bulb. I know the ratios aren't perfect, but I think I'm going to try 6 bulbs (3 each side) on a 10x5in. screen.
Anyone ever use cheap bulbs like this? Is there a downside to something like this that I'm missing? I figure they are cheap enough to justify taking a chance (free shipping, too).
Which bulbs should I use? I figure they will be mounted exactly 2in. from the screen if my build goes as planned.
Thanks,
Andrew
