Product Information

BENEFITS: Solid State, Cooler Running, High Efficiency, Dual Color Blended Full Spectrum LED plant lighting, This panel has no ballasts to burn out like other aquarium or plant lights. It runs at a warm temperature rather than very hot which is common with most other inefficient plant lights. This more controlled running temperature reduces water evaporation and keeps rooms with tanks and plants from getting uncomfortably hot in the summer months requiring additional air conditioning. They save electricity dual fold. This state of the art BLUE + WHITE LED panel tank and plant light is extremely energy efficient paying for itself many times over each year in electricity savings. It saves 50% to 90% in energy consumption compared to incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes. Wide angle projection insures uniform coverage. This specialty WHITE + BLUE LED Aquarium and grow light panel is designed to allow you to custom tailor the light spectrum for maximum growth and breeding condition.

The purity and power of this Blue + WHITE LED panel has been scientifically designed to provide large illumination coverage of 8 to 10 square feet. 14 to 16 hours per day is all that is necessary for maximum fish metabolism and Coral Reef. The typical white (metal halide) plant lights that run at high temperatures consume excessive electricity, wasting money. LEDs turn on instantly and can be turned on and off by hand each day or work well with all standard lamp timers.

These LED light panels are perfect as all year permanent Aquarium and Plant lights for Fish, Reef, Corals, Amphibians, Reptiles, Mammals, Insects and Plant tanks and benches. They are especially productive for spring vegetable and flower seedling development.

I am interested in these but not sure if two of them would be enough for a 60" long 20" high tank?

How is the shimmer with these?

My tank is 48''long 24'' deep and 24" high and 2 fixtures are plenty. The clarity and shimmer(which was also my concern) of these LED's will rival any metal halide,(which was answered when I plugged them in). For a 6ft tank you will need 3 of these fixtures, every 2ft for maximum lighting. You can use 2 fixtures for a 5ft tank, just space them correctly.
I love these lights! Well worth it ! I priced other Led fixtures and the two I purchased saved me $250 -$ 350.
I'm the biggest DIY guy there is, these are plug and play easy to install, they come with all the hanging hardware,(except brackets, that's Home Depot).

No one plug for the fixture, that's plugged into a timer.

Looks good, as far as the aiptasia goes, I would go with a Klein's B-fly.

Have these chinese units been modified? as they are pretty pure quality, some people have almost Electrocuted themselves in Australia using these.

[reef211]

I was at CFM on sunday and a vendor got these light on his frag tank and i was impress by the light, but he told me that there are too many white led then blue, so he cover up some of the white and wow the light look more like a 20k look and when remove the tape it look more like 10-12k looked.

As far as electrocution goes they don't touch the water, as with most light fixtures. They are built pretty tough! metal housing all around, you would have to go out of your way to break these fixtures.

I have had XM Metal Halide's in the past, and the light produced by these new Led's are better than the MH. I didn't have to cover any bulbs, the fixture brings out all the colors of corals and fish. I agree with you, the fixture out of the box gives me the 20,000k look with a great shimmer and I have the fixtures 3 1/2 inches above the water surface, you can't do that with MH.
I'm getting great light intensity without the heat, also there is a clear panel that keeps the Led's clean and wipes clean easily.

Thanks, CaptiveReef
