The tube itself runs at a considerable voltage 180 -1000v as such these kits are supplied with a DC inverter that takes a DC feed and then steps it up to 180-1000v ac. Hence the 12v requirement etc.

I had a 14 watt (I think, maybe 15) that was way too bright for me, but it still didn't look anything like yours. For moonlight are we supposed to have that much light?
thedoood said:any more info on these rope lights, do they still make corals flouresce like the cold cathode tubes do?
do you guys reckon they strong enough to penetrate a 30 inch deep tank??
Ill have to try and find the equivalent of Wal mart here in Australia and test them out
