Installation of the lights was pretty easy. I just tucked them into my hood without installing them. I would favor this over screwing them into the your hood. When it became dark, I noticed that the light was a little sparse. I was able to tweak this by tilting some of the lights to get better coverage. Once you have a better idea of what direction you want your lights to go, a more permanent installation can be done.
That said, I still think the lighting is just a little too dark in many areas. I bought four lights (one, plus the three extensions) for my 50 gal tank (measures 48x24x12). The ad recommends one light per 2 feet. There are no other places on my hood to fit more extensions. This might not be much of a problem if you are lighting a smaller aquarium or an aquarium with different dimensions.
Overall, I will admit that I am satisfied with the new nightly glow. I enjoy watching my fish in the night. I would really recommend buying this with the nighttime/daytime power strip so you don’t have to worry about turning the lights on and off.

I don’t have to say anything else. The lights are great, but just remember; “Lunar Link” it tells you right there, its a link. Make sure you buy this one that says “Lunar Light” first, it comes with a plug.
The Nocturnal Blue LED’s are very bright, DON’T LOOK AT THEM DIRECTLY.
I have a 30 Gal., so i bought the “Lunar light and Link” it was a perfect fit. Just had to do a little modification to my tank light, and you can’t even see that their there. Check out the photos i posted, under the Lunar link product page.
