RE: [GSAS-board] Dream Light Fixture



If the fan is from a comupter it is likely a 12 volt fan so you will need a transformer to power it.

If you have any 9v- 15v power supplies (basic wall wart) around the house you could try one and see if it spins the fan fast enough/ too fast.

I have a box of these if you need one.

I am back to work on my fish tank light fixture. Paul Winchester told me
that he got nice bulbs on eBay for cheap. He found Workhorse ballast on the
web somewhere, and got the bulb sockets at a lighting store on Michigan
street in the industrial area of Seattle. I would like to put a fan in the
hood. I found a little fan on Ebay for $2. I think it is for a computer. It
just has wires coming off of it, so I am not sure how to hook it up. I
haven't bought it yet. It would be nice to have a LED light to simulate the
moon.

My landlord isn't too happy about me hanging the big heavy 300-watt halide
monster above the tank, so I'm trying to think of another way to light the
plant tank. I probably don't need that much light now anyway, since the
plant tank has been downsized to about a 30-gallon now.

I am welcome to any ideas.

Susan
