Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid 48 Inch Fixture w/ LED Mounting System & Decor Endcaps
Hybrid T5 Light 48 Inch Fixture with LED Mounting System and Decor Endcaps (Black) - Aquatic LifeOver the years, many seasoned hobbyists have realized that a combination of different light types works finest for growing plants and corals. Like the metal halide lights of years ago, LED fixtures can provide high intensity, but without the operating cost. Also, like halide lights, LED’s are a point-source light, creating a shimmering effect in the aquarium. Combining LED light with T5HO fluorescent light provides the benefits of efficient intensity and diffused lighting – meaning no more shadows often seen with only LED lights.In the past if you wanted to add T5s to your LED reef set-up, you either had to buy an expensive custom fixture or attempt to build and wire your own mounting frame. In remarkably cases the results were less than optimal and even dangerous.Now you can have both T5HO and LED lighting over your aquarium in a convenient, streamlined design!
