Is there a output requirement for the main switch or can I use a light as the main? I want to use it for my aquarium lights/bubbler

No their is not. It doesn't matter what wattage the device you wish to use as the main (as long as it's not something crazy ie high powered tools, generators etc that will fry the power strip) when you that device is turn the internal circuitry of the power strip will send a response to the other outlets telling them to turn on. If a some or all of your device are not turning on/off at the same time their is a small knob on the side of the strip where you can adjust + or - to make them all work. Most of the time you do not need to touch this as it's very sensitive to adjustments you make.

LED lights have no listed wattage. Mine is a 20 inches with two sets of LEDS for a 35 gal aquarium-no live plants.

the lights can't be chained togeather. When I had my lights in the water on the bottom of the aquarium, I didn't like the look. You could see each LED lite. I have them ontop of the tank shining down into the water. Much nicer, I think

You need a switchbox for two inputs. this is intendedto go from one output to two. If you run it the other way and both units get turned on at the same time you risk damage to your equipment.

Depends on the size of the tank, and how it's positioned. I'd say it would be a poor aquarium light though. It's more cosmetic lighting than anything.

It depends on how high you mount the light. Mine is mounted 36" above the water on a 48" tank. The ends are a little darker, but not everything can take the direct output of this fixture, such as mushrooms and lps. Start with one would be my advice, and be very care with initial intensity. Break in your livestock slowly!!

wire one power supply to both ends 12v DC or 24vac works great / output switch can be NO or NC just move jumper / unit is aligned when LED is lit on receiver. The one with 2 wires is lamp and 4 wires is receiver / if near a window or slider signal may bounce off glass, A tube or tape may help to limit beam. Have fun : )

Glofish website suggests using blue LED lighting, so I assume this fits the bill. However, I can't say for sure if this will work best, for I use it to light my FOWLR tank. Sorry can't help you much. It is a very cheap system (light+power supply), won't set you back at all.

I don't know but It wasn't enough to light up my tank adequately. I have a 150 gallon aquarium and bought 3 of these and had to buy an extra 3 lights to add to each base. I imagine if the tank you're trying to light Is small enough it'll be ok.

Yes, you still need a top light. The lights on the ViaAqua are for lighting the bubbles, not the tank.

I have a 37 gallons planted tank and it's working for me. I'm using all 3 light modules though. So you may want to consider doing the same thing.

I was told you can not replace it. It's a dumb design if that's true. The aquarium light is not cheap so replacing the whole thing because the light is broke makes no sense to me. If you find away then please let me know as well. Mine is still ok but it will burn out eventually. Thanks

It should work as long as it is with the voltage specks under driving them will not hurt them. But I have not done it with these just with diy reef aquarium lights. It work just fine

No on/off switch comes with it. You could plug it into a power strip which has a switch though.1 gallon might be too small for the intensity of the light. However, if you cover/mask the light well enough, it would be pretty cool. I say go for it, and get creative with disguising the light. Your tank will still pretty much be fully lit...could be kind of cool or even creepy depending on how you do it.

The light only has one cord and one on switch. I use for freshwater so I did not need the night LEDS. If you were planning on using on a saltwater and wanted to power each set a different times it will not work.

You need one full inch (I just measured) from the side of each prong to the very edge of the side. Also this has a sticker on it reading "Not For Use With Aquariums And All Other Water Related Products!" I would suggest you might swap out your old outlet for a 12amp GFI Outlet. They are only about $12.00 and they're very easy to install. It is "Code" to have a GFI anywhere near a sink or tub anyways. Good Luck!

Get two. I love mine. No problems with the lights or the company. My corals and fish are doing amazing. Was definately worth the money.
