I have a small juwel low tech planted tank, 54 litre 60x30x30cm.
I've had it only since around September last year and the light broke 3 times.
I am in the process of getting another replacement light again from the seller as it's still in warranty, but I see no point as it kind of works for a few months, then starts turning itself on and off again until it eventually stops turning on at all and I currently have no spare one in order to wait for another replacement.
The wattage advertised is 20W, but I am not sure what the actual light levels are, but it does the job.
I am just wondering if anyone can recommend any decent replacement light? I just lost my patience with this one. The problem is the tank has a hood and I'd rather keep this tank closed but I am not sure I can fit anything inside as it's just a piece of plastic with a hook to keep the current bulb in.
Otherwise the tank is rimless, the stand is bigger than the tank so I can put any type of light unit besides a suspended one from the ceiling.
