Fluorescent lighting unit for standard size T8 fluorescent tubes. This light system does not have a solid frame structure, which makes it very compact and easy to fit in narrow spaces. Deluxe model has higher quality ballast unit and different type of end caps with additional fasteners that secure the tube in place. This is more similar to the well-known Arcadia Ultra Seal – light units.

This unit can be used to illuminate aquariums, terrariums, birds, miniature greenhouses etc. plant growing applications or it can be used as a support light for houseplants or as a part of general illumination. It is compatible with all types of T8 tubes including UV tubes.

This lighting unit contains ballast with power switch and fluorescent tube end caps that are connected to the ballast with cables. When a fluorescent tube is attached between the end caps, it works as the light unit’s support frame.

The set includes plastic attachment pieces for fixed mounting, or it can be simply placed on top of aquarium / terrarium cover. As the tube ends and the fluorescent tube are very light, the unit can be hung easily with wires or strong fishing line.

Set does not include a reflector, which is available as an accessory. Reflector improves the lighting efficiency by directing all produced light to the target and prevents glare to unwanted directions. Reflector also improves the looks, making the set look like a slim normal style aquarium light.

NOTE! Although the construction does not automatically limit fluorescent tube length to the correct size like fixed frame light systems do, this device is designed to be used only with the specified tube size.
