Chuckmeister Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hey guys, I know a few people are interested in these Worx lights because they are fairly cheap compared to the pro reef lights etc.i bought 2 and received them yesterday and instead of sitting here typing my thoughts I thought I'd just show them on a short (ish) videoHope they give you some idea of the lights if you have been wondering You can click on full screen on the bottom right for a bigger screen.

Buccal Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 It's always very each to their own when it comes to display presentation.But I'm yet to see any better type,,,, (not brightness),,, of light than what a power-glo T8 18000K gives.This fluro light eccentriates all colors in fish and really shows up subtle variances in colors on the fish.Running tests and comparing many other options,,,,, the T8 is dramatic,,, "all color, no glare".All the different types of gases that are used in fluros are many, and different gases produce different types of light spectrum and frequency.So even comparing different types of fluros to one another is a lengthy mission itself.The power-Glo that comes in a pink box draws out the pure natural color in fish and leaves everything for dead in my books.Definetely not denoting LEDs though as people go for different effects.For me it's light lit up foreground with a 50% darker background,,,, this makes the fish pop, a shining fish in front of dark background.

Ged Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The T8 is a great tube. There are other considerations when evaluating aquarium lighting such as the cost to running the light, the heat generated, operational life and replacement cost.

hoody Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 im not sure on how these leds will last but replacing globes every year or so drives me crazy. so if i get 2 or 3 years out of an led it will pay off for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccal Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Leds are well known for amazing long life.As far as different effects go,, I saw a amazing set up with led lighting that was slightly a blue hue effect.The way this tank presented was very original and similar to something I saw to a halide light effect.The surface of the water was aggressively washing around in a surface choppy way.The substrate was white river sand.The inhabitance were Myleus Rubripinnis and Pictus cats.The intense reflective shimmering on the substrate was incredible and mesmerizing.Lol, the fish were very busy and active and with the shimmering it was a stand out in the room at night.

Chuckmeister Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'll likely change these lights over xmas. I think I'll build my own simple hood and incorporate t8 12v led's and put in a light contoller that mimics sunrise to sunset and moonlight. Probably have a vid of the process up at some stage.
