Review on Helios Output Aquarium Fixture 24 Watt by Roy Boone

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great light, bad bulbs

I really liked this light, it did a great job growing plants in a 35 gallon arc. I ran it 8 hours a day on a timer for a little over 2 months. In the last few weeks, the fluorescent lamp has started to shine at 10% of full power. Both ballasts appear to be fine and fully fire the blue light, but the daylight bulb appears to have burned out. Not the expected lifespan of such a lamp. I'm willing to update this review if I manage to replace a fluorescent light bulb due to a broken part. Edit 21.10. The company completely ignored my request, so customer support seems totally non-existent at this time. I'm increasing my rating to 1 star.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of style
