Zoo Med Reef Sun 50/50 Actinic Daylight T8 Lamp, White, 24 in

Bring balanced, full spectrum light to your aquarium with the Zoo Med Reef Sun 50/50 T8 Lamp in the 24 in white size. This bulb combines 6500K trichromatic daylight phosphor with actinic 420 phosphor in the same lamp, producing high intensity full spectrum illumination that is strong in the short-wavelength blue region. According to Zoo Med, that blue region is essential for photosynthetic corals and invertebrates, while the 6500K daylight tone balances the lamp for natural color enhancement and viewing pleasure in your display. It is a single-bulb way to give a two-foot tank both the daylight and actinic tones a reef leans on.

• 50/50 blend of 6500K daylight phosphor and actinic 420 phosphor in a single bulb for both tones at once.
• High intensity full spectrum illumination that is strong in the short-wavelength blue region.
• Zoo Med notes the blue region is essential for photosynthetic corals and invertebrates.
• Balanced with 6500K daylight for natural color enhancement and pleasant, easy viewing.
• Ideal for all marine aquariums, reef aquariums, African cichlids, and discus fish alike.
• Energy-saving T8 size, which Zoo Med says can save up to $30.00 per year in electricity versus thicker T12 lamps.
• Made in Europe, which Zoo Med highlights for high quality, color, and longer burn life.
• Effective up to 10,000 hours, per Zoo Med, for long service between bulb swaps.
• The 24 in length fits two-foot fixtures and mid-size tanks nicely.
• A single bulb that handles both daylight and actinic lighting needs together.

If your reef, marine tank, or cichlid and discus setup calls for a two-foot bulb, the Zoo Med Reef Sun 50/50 T8 Lamp in the 24 in size delivers daylight and actinic tones together in one energy-saving lamp. Zoo Med manufactures its full line of fluorescent aquarium lamps in Europe and rates this one effective up to 10,000 hours of service, so it earns its place in the fixture for the long haul. Slide it into a compatible T8 fixture sized for a standard two-foot run and watch your corals, invertebrates, and fish look their best under that balanced mix of warm daylight and cool actinic blue.
