Do a "search" NT Fizzer, this subject has been covered many times in the near past...

"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth".
John F. Kennedy

"The first principle of a free society is an untrammeled flow of words in an open forum"
Adlai E. Stevenson

"We are willing enough to praise freedom when she is safely tucked away in the past and cannot be a nuisance. In the present, amidst dangers whose outcome we cannot foresee, we get nervous about her, and admit censorship".
Forster, Edward

Bias have them at the moment.
I got mine from Hong Kong for about 10% of the price you pay here (but you wait a while for delivery)
thats when prices where high here, dont know what the comparisons are these days

I just got mine delivered from Hong Kong for $12 for 5 metres, a fraction of local costs. They work, can't see how some can be better than others, my guess is that they're all made in the same factory.

search them on ebay mate. type 5m led strip 5050. get a 5m strip in any colour for about 10-15 delivered. Nothing wrong with them just make sure you choose the water proof one's. All come from the same factory in china so why pay $100 odd $$ in darwin/OZ for the same thing.

Repo have the led strips on special ATM, 3 metre for $8.99 stick on in ambient or high output.

Might have to hav a look :-)
If there is water and it holds fish, then it is fun trying to fool them into eating what you offer!!

Especially when you can see them!
