I am really intrigued by these Lunar LED lights. Has anyone tried them on their GF tanks?

Lunar LED lights? I've never heard of them. Sounds cool though!

I guess they were originally developed for corals that grow at night (?) and to view nocturnal fish. From what I have read, there can be used in FW tanks too. Hmmm. Here it is:

Oh, cool! I didn't know moonlighting was LED. I doubt they'd be needed for a goldfish tank, though. Goldfish don't really need lighting-- the lighting is for us to see them!

Yeah, I know they are not needed... Definitely not a necessity. But, I'm thinking it would be a pretty cool addition to the tank, as long as it doesn't cause any harm somehow. That's why I'm curious if anyone has used these before...

Joy and I agree that the lights probably won't do any harm. I think that moonlighting looks really cool when done right. Our goldfish can sleep during the middle of the day, and be active at night, so the light wouldn't bother them.

Cool! Thanks for the input! I did a search and it looks like a few people on here have used them and it turned out really good. I'll put this on my list of things to get later.

Yay!

Ooh, if you get one PLEASE take a picture! I'd love to see how they look with your goldies.

I have used similar lights ( see link at bottom ) for GF tanks before.
They are very nice to give a cool effect, but really past that they give just enough light to let you watch your GF at night.
I did not notice any difference in the fish really. They are pretty cool looking. I had a set of the deep blue and the red just to swap it up since the light was just for effect.
These are what I had.

I have one on our reef tank (you've got see see the flourescence of corals under those lights!! I'll post a pic!) and have used it on my crabitat, to simulate natural moonlight. Very worthwhile!
