Hi reefers,
To start I'm a believer of moonlight and lunar cycle on a reef tank, I have personaly observed snails to lay eggs exactly below the blue leds of a moonlight.
When I bought the Kessil I got very happy with the great shimmer but disappointed not being able to dimm it low enough to simulate moonlights.
I came across the H2Show Blue LED - Submersible Spotlight for Aquariums, I paid 19.44 at Amazon:

This project should work fine for the gooseneck but I use the Mounting arm. Here what I used:
I have cut the H2Show power led about 2 ft from the power supply to allow the cable to go inside the mounting arm. If you have trouble to pass the cable you can use a piece of RO piping with the cable inside, it passes very easily this way.
To secure the led holder I used a thin black zip tie. I'm happy with the result, clean.
The final result:
Other pics:
How Kessil 360W blue looks at the minimum setting (5%), too strong right?
I hope it helps someone.
cheers
