Zoo Med Reef Sun 50/50 Actinic Daylight T8 Lamp, White, 48 in

Light your reef the way it deserves with the Zoo Med Reef Sun 50/50 T8 Lamp in the 48 in white size. This bulb carries a 50/50 combination of 6500K trichromatic daylight phosphor and actinic 420 phosphor in the same lamp, delivering 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 side balances the bulb for natural color enhancement and viewing pleasure in your display.

• 50/50 mix of 6500K daylight phosphor and actinic 420 phosphor in one bulb, so you get both tones together.
• 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 easy, pleasant viewing.
