Hmmm, not sure it would blend too well with a show tank . . . just my 2cents.

I use these when working under my car in the garage. They will get very hot and I am not sure how well the light disperse throughout the tank. What are you looking to do?

you can get aquarium halogen lamps, lot prettier than that and a lot more expensive, sometimes use in saltwater tank to propogate corals

they produe a nice natural ripple effect in the water, however i would thing them too bright for discus

they will heat the water

some of the planted tank experts use them for midday sunbursts
