Hey just got a new PC lighting system that has 4 LED Moon lights. Do you usually leave the moon lights on all night or most/part of the time?

I run my moonlights from the time my actinics go off (approx 10:00) till around 3:00 AM. I also have a dimmer switch on them to adjust the intensity (i.e. full moon, half moon, etc..). You want to simulate the actual moon for the purpose of spawning (which I've witnessed in my tank since running moonlights), so IMO I wouldn't run them all night.

why not just leave it plugged in all the time?
i would think that stopping them and starting them would drain the life faster.
i leave mine on 24/7

And sometimes 1/4 moon Steve

PW... It just stands to reason not to have them on all the time because the moon isn't up all the time. They even make contollers that will simulate the cycle of the moon as well...

No, no... I have my moonlights on a timer so that they don't come on till after my MH's and actinics go off.
