Hi all,

I work for a lighting company and I’ve been given the choice of 2 ex-sample lights for a new 25cm cube that I’m planning. The cube will be set up using florabase substrate and dosed with liquid carbon and tpn+, if that helps at all!?
I was wondering which one would be best suited for my set up?

Light 1 (furthest in photo)
11w lamp G23 - white light
Plastic ballast
Manoeuvrable in multiple positions including height
Plastic finish

Light 2 (straight mast)
60w Halogen lamp G9 - very yellow light
Good reflector
Brushed Metal Finish
Tiltable head & mast but restricted height positions
Minimal/modern look

Would the halogen lamp be over kill for a planted tank?

Any views?

Cheers
Dan
