what type of lights did you use to make it look like that?

I used an IKEA DIODER 4 piece multicolor strip set on my desk http://www.amazon.com/IKEA-DIODER-4-piece-Light-Multicolor/dp/9178883601/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1382147493&sr=8-4&keywords=ikea+led ... If I did it again I might try an LED 5050 multicolor Ribbon strip, with the 44 key remote http://www.amazon.com/TaoTronics%C2%AE-TT-SL007-Waterproof-including-Controller/dp/B006K0JYD8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382148092&sr=8-1&keywords=led+5050+taotronics ... Im using the ribbon on some other things (display cases, around the back of a TV on the wall, etc.) , and with the 44 key remote it has more options for the settings... Although 1 strip I got of that ribbon LED went bad pretty fast, and the IKEA is still going strong almost 24/7 for almost a year now...

We centered it around our daughters' ceiling light fixture. We found one that was sun-like from Lowes this past spring.

It appears the way a REAL blacklight should look: the blueish/purple glow. I was very unsure about the appearance when I saw these bulbs as well, however, they are a TRUE black-light and makes neon-colors POP!

The catchlight? Reflection of light source? It looks a little amped in post, I do it with curves.

At times I just turn on the continuous light feature and hand hold it to shape the light. I often use the way as a back light for flowers and use a regular flash for front lighting.

You can use the white light. It looks cool on many of the settings. Really makes the other things in the tank "pop" like the colored rocks. If you would like me to send you a picture of the lighted tank on my favorite setting let me know.

It's very dark. You'll love it if you prefer black. We're actually going to pick up a few more lights to add to the ones that come with it. I have a picture of it installed, but can't figure out how to get it to attach here.

Yes, in my opion it looks better. Also, these lights are very bright. I'm no sure how bright the screw in bulbs are.

It's white with alabaster lights. So if you got white lights it would look white.

There are some awesome "vintage look" bulbs at Lowe's that give a nice amber light. Would look awesome with this!!

You could call it LED... They use one or two not so powerful LED's to light up the Halo Ring. To understand why I answered this in such fashion, visit w w w (dot) oraclelights (dot) com. under the automotive section you'll get a glimpse of what REAL LED Halo Rings look like. I will most likely be upgrading to these rings sometime soon.

I'm guessing a metal painted to look brass. I recommend a 25 watt bulb. All others are too hot and cause the "plastic like" shade to bubble and discolor.

Yes you can I used an air plane switch to make it look nice. Look up on you tube how to install a switch to lights.

Hi Tom, What I'm using to control the light better is a snoot that I had laying around. I would like to make barn doors just haven't figured out the best way to do that yet. hope this helps. Thanks for your question

I would make my own out of milk bottle plastic or cut your own Rosco color correction gels. Velum is another great option and it's inexpensive, so you can make a bunch of them. The clear/white panel that is included does nothing to diffuse the light. It just protects the LED bulbs.

I am in the process of doing that, but I needed to find smaller, flat topped lights to fit in my pint jars. Just found them. Check out gardentherapy.ca. They have an article on doing this.

We used normal bulbs. From my research that is what is required. Bulbs are mounted on downward position and on a slight angle
