Today, I have been to the shop to take a look at this amazing aquarium LED lighting; named LumenAQUA. Will definitely consider such LED lighting once to price come down a bit.

Actually, I was unable to really test it out fully due to time limit. But in general, the light colours are totally not the same as those T5 6500k tube. I had tried different manual setting combinations by adjusting each individual colours (RGB) but still unable to achieve the colour temp like 6500k. But, the set come with a setting chart which you could use to adjust to the colour temperature you desire. I never request for the chart from the shop owner since I was in the hurry. Maybe during my next visit, I will request for it. For the plants, it maybe all right with wider colour temperature settings. But for human like me, I prefer the colours looking close to 6500k. So, setting to this 6500k is very important for me.

The light penetration may not seem very good too. In generally, it seem dimmer than my T5 lighting. At the bottom of the tank, the sand looks a little not lighten up. Maybe I should have compare it side by side with a T5. I will definitely do such comparison if I am buying it.

For those whom like “waves” form under the moving water surface; this is the LED you will love. It is like those “waves” form by MH lighting. For T5 or PL, not such “waves” form.

All in all, it is a great set of LED lighting for aquarium. I think in near future, all aquarium lighting will be make this way.
