I've made my own moonlights-they look really great-but I used WHITE LEDs. 
Their color is a very cold white-much like moonlight. I think the blue LEDs 
are much too blue.

White LEDs are twice the cost of other LEDs, but that just means your 
home-made moonlight will be 15% of the cost of a commercial unit instead of 
10%.
