DIY LED lighting

I'm not the DIY type but came across this stuff online, they even have waterproof LED modules with four lights in each module... Looks pretty neat and not too expensive for DIY moonlights, maybe if one could source lenses a possible LED light solution???
Looks like you purchase the modules and power supplies seperate but the price looks pretty reasonable...The site is a PITA to navigate though.

I tried to do one of the home grown lights, and screwed up the solder job. This resulted in frying about 15 of the LED's and a portion of the power pack. I have one more kit just waiting for my solding skills to improve before I re-try. I've been practicing, almost ready to try again.
I love the concept of DIY LED fixtures. I really do think they are a great solution for light supplementation for existing set-ups that just need a little more light.
