dougs69 Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 hi all I have a question for the electrically minded out there. i am currently running 7 x 36w fluro lights on my tank stands they run for about 9 hours a day. i am thinking of changing them to 12v led strip lights running off a transformer. the leds run 12v 6amps per 5 meters. i will need approximately 10 meters so 12 amps in total. i well run all these from a 15 amp transformer running 240 watts. what i would like to know is which option would be the cheapest to run? working it out has done my head in so turning to here for help. thanks in advance Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETFISH Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 the led's will be 10x cheaper to run:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brodie-S/A-C Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm using 5 led flood lights I got from eBay. Cost me 50 for them then 65 for a transformer, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
