I know nothing about aquariums. But can this be used as a light source under my glass drafting table? Does it plug in to regular cord?

No it actually has a special connection for plugging into the lid unit on the tank.
592722
No, this is specifically made for a replacement LED for the Biocube fish tank. You would have to look for an LED with a AC plug.
592723
No it does not have a power cord. It has a socket made just for hit in the aquarium hood by its name brand.

No, it comes as just a light bar and hooks into the hood of the biocube which houses the switches and cords. Its basically a lightbulb with no lamp.

Yep. The feet fit into slots in the fixture and slide out easily. The light would lie flat on a glass top. It may sit on the edges of the aquarium depending on how it's trimmed.

The lamp actually can rest on the screen lid of the aquarium, it has a handle so it could be hung. The cord is like a normal length for lamp cords.

The unit IS submersible but the power conditioner needs to remain dry. There's about 3 feet of cord to work with though. I'd say it's made for indoor aquarium use. Outdoor pond might give it a beating.

This unit is for 110/120 volt AC and the lamp is included. I have had mine running for the better part of a year and it is still doing a good job. Eventually the UV lamp will become less efficient and you will need to replace it (lamp only - not the whole unit). They say about once per year. It is designed for ponds up to 6,000 gallons so would be way oversized for most aquariums.

I ran all of the cords under a rug and then under my couch and plugged the extension cord in behind the couch. There are a lot of things to plug in so I put a power strip under the table then plug an extension cord into that so I can have one cord running under the rug instead of 5. Hope this helps if you have any other questions post them on here I love my fish tank.

The light you are looking at is not for live plants in a display tank . Freshwater aquariums with live plant require 1 to 2 watts of light per gallon of water .If you have a deep tank the watts will be higher 2 to 4 watts of light per gallon of water . The only thing this light would be able to grow is algae in your tank .People use this light in saltwater aquariums too grow algae in a sump.also on mine the feet will expand 1/2" out on each side.You will need approximately 30 too 60 watts of light . Hope this helps.

No, regular plug in. My issue was that, for an underwater light, it wants to float. I had to put a stone across that ring on the bottom to weight it down

Should be a clean bright light same as cool fluorescent bulb, not like a warm light. There can be a slight violet tint depending on contents of aquarium

If you don't like the tubing, this is the unit for you. It just has the electrical plug. All else is contained in the black base. The light is very bright. You may want to add some colorful things. Oh by the way; I did find you may also want to stock up on the filters pads. They come in multi packs at your favorite store. I have found that fish are like any pet; they need alot of cleaning.

sorry, no, you need to plug it in. there is a cord about 3 feet long. the light works great by the way, and you can use it without it if you want but it defeats the purpose.

I have a small Jar fountain with led lights outside by my pool. Would this serve as a power source for it? would it have an outlet I could plug the fountain into?

You would have to see the manufacturer's specs on how many Amps it can handle but u can plug in any 2 pronged plug into it. I use it for a night stand lamp that I like that has a broken switch. I have a plug that is high on the wall like we're a light switch would be in the same room so yes, using a two pronged brown extention cord, I control that end table light with this device.

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.

No...it requires a power source ....it clips into the hood of a Coralife tank..the power source is in the hood

Yes, you can plug it right in. Ours is over a table. We just mounted it securely, added a three way bulb and plugged it in. The cord cover is a nice touch, didn't feel sorry I didn't get my husband to hard wire it.

Yes, it should bright enough to light up the tank. Two things I have noticed since I have used them for a while, 1. fish can jump out of tank and 2. evaporation is higher than a sealed unit. I refill my water supply about every 2-3 days.
