Reeflux 1000W Halide Light | Single Mogul Halide Bulbs | Aquarium Lighting

ReefLux® is the first true 10000K full spectrum metal halide bulb to be offered to the aquarium market. Other manufacturers claim to offer a 10000K lamp but that is just a marketing number of their best attempt to offer a full spectrum 10000K lamp. This is why they have a yellow or orange appearance and need to have some kind of fluorescent actinics to balance it out. Generally the more yellow or orange a bulb the more PAR the bulb will produce. ReefLux® offers you the highest PAR rating without having to flood your aquarium with high powered fluorescent blue bulbs. The ReefLux® 12000K has the performance of the 10000K but with a touch of blue added. We have also added the 20000K bulb to the Reeflux® line.
We recommend that Reeflux bulbs should be run with electronic metal halide ballasts or pulse start magnetic ballasts. Probe start magnetic ballasts will not fire Reeflux lamps properly, which could lead to difficulties with the bulbs. The Reeflux lamps are pulse start. Probe start ballasts may ignite the lamp, however the drawbacks are shorter life, color variation between lamps, a shift in color over time, and low efficiency. Our Reeflux lamps require an ignitor to fire throughout its life cycle.

It is important that SE mogul base lamps are positioned in the correct burn position. Please refer to the drawing and notice the small glass nipple in the center arc tube of the lamp. It is critical, for the correct color temperature to be obtained, that the nipple be positioned in the 12pm location when screwed into the E40 mogul socket. To help align this position you may have to pull the center tab in the mogul socket out to gain some length where the lamps base makes contact with the center metal tab. Make sure that once positioned in the correct angle that the bulb is snug and stable in the socket.
Attention! Consumer Warning!

Using HPS (High Pressure Sodium) or HQI magnetic ballast damages metal halide lamps. We do not warranty bulbs that are used with these ballasts. Metal halide bulbs being using on these improper ballasts run the risk of premature bulb life, explosion, improper color spectrum and excessively high ultraviolet radiation that could cause possible damage or death to fragile aquatic livestock. Anyone using our lamps with the above mentioned ballasts do so at their own risk, and we are not liable for bulb life or damage to aquatic livestock.
