last night fix on the 4 feet T8 LED tube (model numberINT8-16W1200E-XW ) from InWares on to my 2 ( 2x1x1.2feet) tanks and heres the results.
this is my normal 2 tube 54watt T5HO light set
this is using the 4 feet 20watt T8 LED tube. ( see any difference ? )
one end of the cap DIY a bit to fit on light stand
the lights emitted from the LED T8 tube
angled view
break down of running equipments :
chiller haliea 150A = 75 watt
Ehiem 2026 = 20 watt
Haliea 4 outlet air pump = 10.5 watt
2 x 54watt T5HO = 108 watt
1 x T8 LED = 20 watt
2 x T5 LED = 10 watt
results :
before changing to T8 LED tube, the wattage consumption base on watt meter is as follow
full running wattage (lights on, chiller kick in, canister on, air pump on) : 219.5 watt
mid running wattage (lights on, chiller resting, canister on, air pump on) : 144.5 watt
low running wattage (lights off, chiller resting, canister on, air pump on) : 30.5 watt
after changing to T8 LED tube, the wattage consumption base on watt meter is as follow
full running wattage (lights on, chiller kick, in canister on, air pump on) : 135.5 watt
mid running wattage (lights on, chiller resting, canister on, air pump on) : 60.5 watt
low running wattage (lights off, chiller resting, canister on, air pump on) : 30.5 watt
cost for the DIY :
4 feet T8 LED tube (model numberINT8-16W1200E-XW ) = $58
wire 2 meters long = $2
telephone line trunking = $ 1.50
2 x End-Cap = $ 2
Others = FOC
thanks for viewing.

I am also pleased with my 2ft LED from InWares but I didn't have any T5 lights to compare the brightness with.
But from your photo it sure look brighter than 2 of your T5.
I wonder if AquaZonic Sirius LEDs are brighter than InWares?
you wait lor
yah. imagine i have 2 tubes of the T8 LED. confirm can win 2 x 54watt T5HO.

Don't play play, Evil might come up with a newline of shrimp call Coffee Shrimp and you will have to pay 1 leg or 1 hand just to buy 1. Better serve him good blue mountain or Kopi Luwak.I brewing 1 cup at home inside is shrimp death body the ammonia smell is pungent hahahaha i reserve it for you
Alan, that's some mean piece of work! Unfortunately, I'm electrically & electronically challenged but if you have the time, then I won't have to try killing myself at home! I can wait long long one. How?

Evil Coffee Line is good enough.
