Metal Halide lights have rapidly become the fixture of choice for many SW reefers. Their relatively small size for the amount of light provided has made these fixtures very popular. Many of these new fixtures are well designed, add a stylish look to any aquarium and even include Lunar Lights.
This space saving unit performs the job of three different fixtures. It combines a 10000°K HQI double ended metal halide, an actinic blue compact fluorescent, and a 1 watt Lunar Blue-Moon-Glow LED lamps in a black anodized aluminum housing. It features an external remote magnetic HQI ballast and internal compact fluorescent electronic ballast(s) with independent on/off switches for 24 hour day and night lighting conditions.
The AquaticLife HID Light Fixtures replace traditional metal halide lamps with single-ended G12-base HID lamps. The adjustable vertical lamp position and reflector design contains and directs light like a spot light.
Open-air design, cool-running internal electronic ballasts and heat-dissipating aluminum housing work in concert to solve excess heat issues associated with metal halide fixtures without the use of fans. Built-in digital timer allows independent, programmable control of HID Lamp(s), T-5 HO Fluorescent Lamps and Lunar LEDs. Single 3 meter power cord. Includes adjustable width Aquarium Frame Mounts and Suspension Hardware for multiple lighting options. 15.4 x 6.2 inches high.
