We have more light from these LED tubes than we had with the flourescent tubes. Changed all of our interior lights to LED. Very happy!!!

The light is brighter than the fluorescent lamps. I replaced all my fluorescent lamps and I'm very happy. I find that removing the ballast at least for me the leds were the brightest. I hope this helps.

The instructions say to use 60W. I have the new 60W fluorescents and it seems a little weak. I'm thinking the instructions are for 60W incandescent and that you could go to 100W of the new fluorescents. I'm going to try it and see what happens.

Hi More than enough if I counted my fingers correctly (ha ha) those two should draw less than 5 amps together(4.7 amps) this power supply will more than run the lights. You picked a good choice! I have one, love it!Oh! I almost forgot make sure you are using #14 gauge multi strand wire with an inline fuse holder with a 5 amp fuse it it blows go to 7 amp fuse.

If at all possible try to split in 2 directions so you have 2 power supplies, supplying 30 ft each. should keep the intensity bright. I used 2 strips off one power supply and had a great affect, only I did not tie them end to end as you would need to do, but the lights were very bright and worked very well with one power supply. hope this helps, good luck.

You will need to purchase two light bulbs. We are now using standard 60 watts in ours. You may want to read manufactures suggestion first.

I am assuming you are asking about 4ft fluorescent vs our LEDs. The 4 ft Fluorescent T12 tubes use 40 Watts per tube. T8 lamps use 32 Watts per tube. Our 4 ft shop lights has two strips of LEDs, each 12W. Our total 24Watt LED shop light puts out light equivalent to 80 Watts of T12 ( 2 tubes x 40 Watts per tube) or 64 Watts of T8 (32W x 2 lamps). An incandescent bulb (100W) puts out about 1100 lumens, so our fixture puts out about as much light as 2 100 Watt incandescent bulbs.

Yes :) All you need are two fluorescent tube bulbs. I'd really recommend that you use these fluorescent tubes. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very pleasing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps! (Case of 10) F32T8/SP41 Linear Fluorescent 32-Watt T8 FO32 741 Light Bulb 48"

The fixture uses the 4 feet T12 40 watts fluorescent tube, that you have to buy separately. The wattage is per tube.

No guarantees, but I believe it will work if your fixture has two 40w bulbs

Hello.I build for my friends that own a warehouse 2 aluminum frames and hung 12 of these fixtures in groups of three(total 24) . I would recommend to alternate between the highest light temperature and a daylight one, so if you mix them, you get a very nice result. The light is very uniform, and you can do some degree of precision work with it.

Don, I bought the two foot model for seedlings. If you want to really light up a 4x4 area you will want more tubes. More tubes = more light, more light = more growth and healthy plants.

The colormax tubes will stimulate plant growth. But even Aqueon has said a fixture that had all three tubes installed with one standard and two colormax is only enough for low light plants. If you are really wanting to do plants another fixture would be a better choice. I would look at some of the Finnex LED's instead. The colormax tube does throw out a lot of red and you will also notice more algae growth.

I have one fixture on a 75 gallon tank and it is more than enough, but my tank isn't as deep as a 90 gallon would be - the water depth is probably something to consider too. I have LPS, SPS and soft corals and they are all doing well (too well in some cases). If you are only going to have fish and/or soft corals then I am sure you have plenty of light. If you have a lot of SPS all over the tank you MIGHT consider a second, but only if you have species that need a large amount of light. If I had to chose, I would buy one, then see what it looks like.

We have (3) 15 watt bulbs in one chandelier in one room and planning to put (5) 25 watt bulbs in another ceiling light and it seems to work fine. I don't think it can take much more though.Hope that helps.

I am using 75 watt bulbs and been using them since day 1. I believe the fixtures are rated for 60 watt bulbs. I wouldn't use any wattage above 75 watts.
