Product information

Light as an energy source

Plants provide the aquarium with the oxygen vital for the aquarium dwellers. Plants prevent algae growth, remove pollutants, provide hiding places, and reduce pathogens.
The right full-spectrum light is important to achieve full photosynthesis.

Easy to install

Insert the ﬂuorescent T8 tube socket into the ﬁxture and turn until the tube locks into place.

Nature as a model

With its light color and its spectral distribution of the light, the tube meets with 9000 K the needs of the plants. It supports their growth and their photosynthetic performance.
The light, equivalent to sunlight, inhibits the growth of algae. The light with the coloring render index 1 A means plants and ﬁsh present themselves in their natural beauty.

The full daylight spectrum

JBL full-spectrum tubes create light conditions modeled on nature and reproduce balanced natural lighting. Tested by the IFM-Geomar Leibnitz-Institut für Meereswissenschaften and rated as very good and “Comparable to natural sunlight”. With energy eﬃciency class B, the tube is particularly energy-eﬃcient. Correlation between light spectrum and light intensity: To create a very light tube you only have to intensify the yellow-green spectral range. Adding a little more red and blue will prevent the light from looking too yellow. That’s how it is done with most tubes! However, we don’t want to illuminate a living room but a planted aquarium with diﬀerent demands, including ALL the spectral ranges of visible light (rainbow colors) to promote perfect growth.
That’s why JBL has designed “full-spectrum tubes”, which include all the spectral ranges with NOTHING missing. In return, they are slightly less light than other ﬂuorescent tubes. The output of a tube is always 100%, but it is important to know which spectral ranges they cover!
