    Might be hard on the metal back though where It's stain and It's curved too. I remember back in the day with those magnets they were a night mare when you lost magnetism and it dropped to the bottom of the fish tank...lol

    Try putting vinegar and some rice in there, shake it about a bit and see if that does the trick

    The old original lights are fully sealed and theres no way anything gets into them. Andy has replaced them with new semi sealed lights that have a removable globe. The water gets in around the globe seal. I am in the same predicament. The original "old technology" is a better set up but you cant buy them with new technology bright globes fitted.

    I don't understand why somebody has not made semi sealed lights with a GOOD seal around the globe. They all leak and are a massive PITA. I'd put some selastic around them or something.

    I think Andy tried that previously?
    But yeah it's crap. I fitted nice new bright semi sealed and about a month later one was dirty and no brighter than the old one.

    ok so you say you cant put a decent seal around the lights I would say you need to think outside of the square and forget about selastics and find something new to use there will be something for certain or the alternative is good time to trade up to a gu lol.kev

    Yeah the idea is to find a good way of sealing them but first, they gotta be cleaned
