    Do PSUs use electricity?

    I have a Maxspect razor 120w over one of my tanks. It is only only on 55w max and overnight it is only on 1% output. I was testing the watt output using one of those monitors that you can get from Energy suppliers, it was reading 20w consumption when I measured it at night when the lights had...

    iaquatics AquaLumi high output LED unit

    Not much information on it yet, its not pretty and advertising it over a rimless aquarium doesnt do it justice i think. However I did like the fact that the leds were also angled so that the light can come from the side aswell as from the top. This could be a big improvement on leds making more...

    Vertex Illumilux LED...neater alternative to TMCs

    Ok, so I am seriously considering using these LEDs for a future set up. They are from an Austrian company called Vertex.

    Hello, I have mentioned this company before and have owned a KR92 unit when I kept a reef tank. These took off a couple of years ago and are one of the best LED lighting units in the market in regard to thier very good PAR output and inkeeping with relatively lower electricity consumption...

    JBL Solar Ultra Natur 9000 Kelvin T5?

    I was looking to use these with Arcadia Plant Pro T5s, but there does not seem to be many places that sell them. Anyone use these? A cheaper alternative is guess might be the Osram Skywhite 8000k, but i dont know how they compare visually other than theoretically. I used to really like the...

    10,000k Lights?

    Hey people, i am on a hunt for suitable lighting units for an 8x2x2. I have looked at the D&D t5 razorlights which look good and i may go with, but quite pricey. Looked at the TMC LEDs and it would seem that it would be VERY pricey upfront ~£1400+ and perhaps too early in the tech...
