Hi All, I'm considering getting some of the ecoxotic stunners lights and putting one strip of them inside my 150W MH pendant. My question is, do you think the heat from the metal halide would melt any part of the ecoxotic stunner? I've seen that bulb get pretty hot, and it would be placed very close to it (because I want the stunner to go inside the housing of my pendant). http://www.marinedepot.com/Ecoxotic_12.5_Inch_Stunner_6_watt_LED_Strip_Linkable_LED_Light_Fixtures-Ecoxotic-XX08010-FILTFILDLK-vi.html - http://www.marinedepot.com/Ecoxotic_12.5_Inch_Stunner_6_watt_LED_Strip_Linkable_LED_Light_Fixtures-Ecoxotic-XX08010-FILTFILDLK-vi.html Thanks! ------------- 55g Bowfront Corner Reef |

| Not a good idea to me either. If you don't melt the plastic, you will fry the LED's with the heat in no time. |
