Size of PL light's tube

[sheng]

Hi,
For the same wattage of PL light's tube, does it come with different size (Length) ?

Thanks

Possible. But may have different connection pins at the bottom.
See some sample at the sticky http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...ead.php?t=7114

More specs if you search the manufacturers websites.

so far from wat i see. most are almost similar in length, could there be big variation? not 100%, but as long as can fit into the casing can liao

I have a 55W PL light which the tube is thinner than the standard 55W size. Brought it previously from local fish shop. I have went around many fish shop and lighting shop and according to them these tube are non-standard, therefore it is very hard to get.....they suggest change the connector to a standard connector because the eballast is compatible to both kind of tube

I know those kinds... the eBallast is a small piece that connects directly to the PL tube, right?
I saw the tubes sold at Yishun Aqua Star LFS too. Can call to check first.

These tubes are T4 ot T5?

Is your lights a Magnum II?
Magnum II's 55W PL seems to be shorter than what the lights shop carry. So best chance is LFS.
