Description
Product Details

The GE ARC AQUA 150 W discharge lamp (double-ended tubular) is a quartz metal-halide high-intensity discharge lamp. It emits daylight light at 6,500 K and about 13,000 lumens, with excellent colour stability. Its 6500 K daylight spectrum suits reef aquariums and planted tanks.

It runs on suitable discharge control gear (ballast + ignitor) matched exactly to its wattage (150 W) and type: it never connects directly to the mains. Its outer envelope screens UV (UVC). Warm-up takes 2–3 min; after switch-off, let it cool for a few minutes before restrike.
