Hi
I'm looking for a decent LED lighting solution for my 40cm cube tank (60l). I don't want it to be too bright, I just want the shimmer effect and enough light for a "low light" setup - to grow mosses, anubias etc
I have considered (and still am) the TMC range - they have a small clip on "microhabitat" light for £30 and a newer "mini 400" tile for about £60. Looking around though, I found this:
http://www.ledpacific.com/products/F...-LED-Bulb.html
Now I have a couple of questions about that setup. As I understand it you can just screw this bulb into any e27 fitting (so a desk lamp, or the clip on that they sell on the same site). My question is, is there anything about this particular bulb which makes it suitable for aquariums? Or can I just buy any similar e27 LED bulb? For example:
http://www.ledlights4you.co.uk/e27-s...w-240v-cw.html
or
http://www.ukledsdirect.com/e27-12w-...mens-640-p.asp
If I can just buy any bulb, anyone have any thoughts as to what wattage I should go for for my little tank?
Any advice on this much appreciated
Joe
