DIY Lights AliExpress again?

I probably should’ve been more clear in my question. How would one mount them without a hood? It’s a rimless tank I’d be adding one or two of these onto.

I wish I had good options for mounting lights! I've actually struggled with it a lot. Custom 80/20 brackets? 3d printed stuff?
 
Right - day of truth. The scenario I’m hoping for is the one where they drop it at my doorstep and walk away.

I literally just got the email and then went to my door and saw the package - all by its lonesome!!

So this is what arrived - the top one is Amazon and the bottom silver one is AliExpress and although all the specs are the ‘same’ the AliExpress item is far better; producing less heat from both the power unit and the diodes. And that means less cooling which should result in a far cheaper potential build cost.

Back in business! These were delivered today, apparently all tarriffs and taxes included and no further cost. They were more expensive than my last order $21 vs $16 pre tariff but still cheaper than the alternatives, and I get the color of light that I like!
