Recommended Posts

I have installed the Lights today.

2x Low light LED Strips (2.4m)

2x Super Bright LED Strips (2.4)

2x double 4ft T8 fittings

1x single 4ft T8 Fitting (Old tanning arcadia bulb)

The lights are controlled by timers and manual overrides.

1) Dusk/ Dawn Lighting - SO can view nocturnal fish. ON: (6am to 10am / 7pm to midnight)

2x Low light LED Strips (2.4m)

2) Daylight - Daylight, when I am not home, will just be enough to simulate 'daylight' for the fish natural light cycles. This is just 1 bulb.

1x single 4ft T8 Fitting (Old tanning arcadia bulb) - reddish tinge, not my preferred viewing light, but it will do for a daylight simulation

ON: 7am to 7pm
