The new SPECTRA series represents an evolution in the illumination of aquariums.

The SPECTRA builds on our long experience of high performance aquarium lighting with improved glare control and the introduction of high performance quad T5 fluorescent lighting in conjunction with the powerful metal halide (HQI) technology. SPECTRA combines 4 powerful T-5 tubes and Two single ended 250watt MH bulbs.

Each pair of tubes is individually switched so it is possible to start the day with a pair of actinic tubes, then to introduce the power of two Aquablue+ tubes before finally switching on the halide lamps.

This provides a more gradual and therefore natural increase and decrease in light intensity.
