Ira Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 No, they're nothing like metal halides. They're probably incandescents. Either way they won't be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zev Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Got a pic of it? It could possibly be Tungsten Halogen - does it have a thin double ended lamp in it, a bit thinner than a Vivid marker, which is the same width along it's length?

Zev Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 Unfortunately these will not give you the required spectrum for a marine tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
