Good Aquarium Light Lighting

Living in the country it doesn't make sense for me to drive into town to buy a replacement aquarium light, that's where Revain comes in. Strong light, lasts about a year, whitish tint, not yellow like traditional incandescent bulbs. A good product.

Pros
  • Inexpensive
Cons
  • Modern

High price - low quality.

If you have one of the Marineland aquariums that requires this lamp, you must purchase it. They don't last long and are very expensive in my opinion. There really isn't much choice but to buy one if you want to light up your tank, so a review would be redundant.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some small things

Good light but very short lived

This replacement bulb has worked very well for a long time. Purchased in April of this year (2017); he died at the end of July. And we don't use our aquarium lighting excessively, especially in summer. This lamp had the shortest lifespan of any lamp we have purchased to date.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Can't remember

Fits 20 gallons and works well

I bought two of these at my favorite local store. My daughter got 20 gallons new with her pocket money and wanted plants for her birthday. The local store only had one bulb in stock, so we scanned the barcode and Revain received a second bulb two days later. It works great for plants. They love the light and it easily fits in glow domes. This is an excellent solution for providing living plants with the necessary lighting.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • No power

Nice color but fades quickly

Ordered this light for a Marineland 5 gallon corner aquarium. Pros: Nice colored light that brings out the colors of my fish and decorations. Disadvantages: Very short lifespan. I've had this light for five months and use it for a few hours about twice a week (my tank gets sunlight most of the day). It's already burned out. I am very disappointed that it took so little time, especially given its cost. The original light that came with the aquarium lasted for several years so I'm not sure why…

Pros
  • Even an old man can understand
Cons
  • Concerns me

Very bright white light

This bulb is not the one that came with the Aquarium Hex 5, an original bulb that gives off a softer light. I have two Hex 5 tanks, each with exactly the same settings, except one still has the original bulb. The aquarium I placed this replacement bulb in was suddenly overgrown with algae after the bulb was changed. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not but I had no problems with algae before I swapped out the bulb for this bright white one and my other tank is crystal clear as always. So…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Perfect replacement

This amazing lightbulb was emitting light. Not just any light, but a light that makes the aquarium look like it's being lit by a CFL. I suspect most of my freshwater fish were happy, although they have so far refused to comment officially. However, the green algae considered it "enough" compared to normal sunlight. The algae are still growing, but complete dominance in the aquarium seems a bit out of reach. The lamp still lasts after a few months. Back? All fluorescent lamps contain mercury…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Negative impression

Poor quality of delivery

It is better to look for these bulbs in a real store and not to buy them through the Internet. I bought two of these bulbs when a power surge knocked out two of my existing Eclipse System 12 bulbs. The price was right so I bought them. The delivery was fast but the quality was poor. The onions came in just an envelope with very little filling. You might think their packaging requires a little more effort. As you can imagine, one of the lamps was completely broken and thus unusable. The second…

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
