JUWEL HiFlex Reflector - 742 mm

JUWEL HiFlex Reflector - 742 mm is a clip-on reflector for a 742 mm T5 or T8 aquarium tube, which puts light that would be wasted back into the water.

Key Features

• The cheapest light you can buy: About half of what a bare tube makes goes up into the hood and is absorbed. A reflector sends much of that down into the tank.
• Order it by the tube length: This one is 742 mm, matched to a 742 mm tube. Measure the tube rather than the tank.
• Clips on, no tools: It springs over the tube and stays there. Nothing to wire and nothing to screw into the hood.
• Worth it most on a planted tank: If plants are growing slowly and the tube is still fairly new, try a reflector before you add another tube.

Electrical Safety

• Keep the transformer, the plug and the socket above the water line and outside the cabinet, and leave a drip loop in every cable.
• Unplug it before you put your hands in the tank or work on the hood.

Good To Know

• A reflector only. No tube included.
• Fitting reflectors to both tubes is a noticeable jump in light. Cut the hours back for a few weeks or you will grow algae.
• Wipe the reflective face when you clean the hood, and let a hot tube cool before you fit it.
