Rocketman Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I'm wanting to upgrade the existing lamps in the canopy of my AR620T . Can anyone suggest where I can purchase new lamps ( straight replacements that fit into the existing fitting ) . Also what type should I be replacing them with ? I have a LR, few softies and 3 fish and a couple of corals at this stage . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 nothting is going to fit straight in (other than bulbs of different colour) you could modify the hood to fit in better lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocketman Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 OK thanks , I've actually managed to fit an additional ( 2 x T4 fluoresent fitting 16w ) into the canopy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazymranch Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Can you tell me how you did that? I have a Jebo R375, which is a very similar setup and I am looking to beef up my lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted September 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hi , yes, happy to help . Hopefully your canopy size is exactly the same ( there's only limited amunt of space ) hardware is available from you local wholesaler . Page 119 of the Superlux lighting manual . T4 linkable fluoresent parts listing ST4-16 ( 16 watts ) x 2 ( comes with tube 6400k ) @ 520 mm lenght SFT4 - C300 ( connector cable ) SFT4 - C1800 ( 1.8 metre cable ) cut the length to suit and terminate internally I used automotive double sided moulding tape to secure the fluoresent fittings inside the gearplate . Your'll need to get rid of the plastic diffuser and clips ( they rust anyway ) I am replacing with a piece of glass ( 585 x 130 @ 5mm ) which should fit within the rim of the tank ( i hope ) hoping to replace the existing compact flouro's with a combination of arctitic or marine blue ( if Jansen's can supply through kongs ) anyone else know where I can get lamps from ? If I can't get the lamps the T4 has a Blue version available I'll like to try Part number SFT4- BE6 total wattage now is 68 watts . PL - 18 w 14000k /7100k T4 - 16 w 6400k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocketman Posted October 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 picked up the PL marine blue 12000k lamps today from Jansen . All looks great with the mixture of lighting . The strip of glass fits as well ( only cost $5 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
