Looks good, nice and subtle too.
Here we go - fitted.
It arrived yesterday. I did some basic tests last night. It's quite bright but not as bright as the main beams. I've not fitted it but did run some power tests on it. It's rated at 54 Watts but i measured current consumption at 2.88 Amps. This works out at 36 Watts at 12.5 Volts. So the LEDs are only being driven at 2 Watts instead of 3. This could be due to a number of reasons. I'm going to need to pull it to pieces and investigate the driver circuit. Maybe it's deliberately light running the LEDs to increase life. Hopefully I can tweak the component values to increase LED current.
They are Cree emitters, or clones of Cree's. They definitely aren't Epistar plastic packages, which is good. The quality looks good and the bar is sturdy in construction. It's just the low power the driver is running the emitters at, that is of note. 36 Watts is a lot less than the advertised 54 Watt. It is bright, but suspect it would be much brighter if being run at the correct power.

At under 3 Amps current draw. My supposed 54 Watt bar is actually only 36 Watts and well short of the 6000 Lumens advertised. Luckily Amazon, unlike Ebay, is easy to return goods that aren't as advertised.
Yes. I'm thinking of doing that very thing.
In the fish tank would be well hidden!
