Review on High Output T-5 Lighting System, Black - Wave-Point 24-Inch 96-Watt 4 Bulb by Monique Franco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good value for money. Lots of PAR for a small tank.

Pretty good light for 200 euros. I bought this to replace the Hydra 52 HD which looked cool but was actually too big for the tank, even flipped. The only issue I have with the Wavepoint is that changing the bulbs is a bit of a pain, but that's my only complaint. I have these in place of a Fusion Nuvo 20 with 2 ATI Blue Plus and 2 ATI True Actinic lights. With an acrylic lid on the tank, PAR is around 90 at the bottom (perfect for chipping, acanas, bowls) and around 250 at the top. With the current lighting setting, it consumes only 95 watts and 0.7 amps. I assume that with all ATI Blue Plus lamps you can increase the rating by 20% or so.

Pros
  • Paradynamic Light Amplifier 14X
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
