Marineland single bright LED

[Northwoods Discus]

I purchased 2 Marineland single bright LED lights. One out of the box only lit up half (one side) of the lights. The other worked for a week and completely dead. Returning both.

Hmmm double bright must be better than single bright.

twice as much! LOL

just kidding..
only difference it has a MOON LIGHT/BLUE in the middle.. that you can put on at night but it cost more

I have bought and use two of the single bright fixtures. I have had no problems at all. In fact they are awesome, more than enough light in my breeder tanks. I also like to moon-light that came with them.

i was looking at these models, both the single and double versions have the blue moon/night light option. was thinking of getting one for my 125g and 20g. in the end i went with t5. about $15 from a local dept store for my 20g h. rather spend/save my $$$ for some discus. :-)

I have the single bright on my 55 and haven't had any problems (yet).

I like it better then the others I own and will move the other tanks over to LED.

Wish I could have picked them up when Kenfish had them on sale.

Anyone know whether the LED's are wired in series, or parallel?

[Northwoods Discus]

My wholesaler had these on sale. So I got a good deal but if they don't work it is not such a deal. When things are on clearance there is probably a reason.

I tried to like LED lighting. I really did. Even borrowed a unit to try out. Weak source of aquarium lighting IMO.

I like LED fixture I have on my 20GH. It came with the 20G kit that my kids won at the ACA this year. I have always wanted to try the LEDs because how much greener it is, and I am sold on the LEDs. For my next fixture, I will buy the LED fixture. LEDs requires far lesss energy than all other bulb types out in the market and supposed to last a lifetime. In the long run, LEDs should save you money.

This thread is pretty ;yes-no','black-white', so...I went ahead and ordered one each single bright, double bright to try for myself....every angle I can shave my electrical overhead needs a try..These will be for display/ wild tanks, as the rest of my setups work well without lighting individual tanks....

Gary, would you mind reporting back whether you like them or not.

[TURQ64]

tWill do..I have a cheap, ten inch single 'Orange store' strip that throws enough lite into a 29tall of Altums, so I'll see......One will go on the Tefe tank, and the other on the 120 fatboy with all the Heckels.......

Looking forward to the report.
