Enhance the Beauty of Your Aquatic Landscape with Illumination
The Marineland Double Bright LED Lighting System is the perfect solution for bringing color and high definition to your underwater environment. Bulky power hungry light fixtures are a thing of the past because the Marineland Double Bright LED reinvents traditional aquarium lighting making it easier and more attractive for you and your habitat. The sleek and modern design complements its slim stylized lighting profile providing even illumination, while the adjustable mounting legs are constructed to accommodate a variety of aquarium sizes. Its convenient side-mounted three-mode on/off switch allows you a variety of lighting options including daytime, lunar and off positions.
Replicate Natural Light
The Marineland Double Bright LED Lighting System provides a vibrant and natural looking light that glistens and creates shadows throughout the water adding depth and dimension to your tank’s interior. In addition, the Double Bright LED has a specifically designed Polycarbonate lens to focus light output and to protect LED light bulbs. LED technology showcases breath-taking shimmering light effects that simulate sunlight dancing underwater. Use the 1-watt white and 60mW blue LED’s together to mimic the light of the sun or switch to the solitary blue luminescence setting to replicate the moonlight glow of lunar illumination.
Energy Efficient
The Marineland Double Bright LED Lighting System is powered by 1-watt and 60mW energy saving LED’s that are designed to provide a higher output than typical fluorescent types and do not require any bulb replacement. Each system is rated for 17,000 hours of life for a long-lasting light. The entire lighting unit is powered by a single low voltage AC cord to use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Unlike their flourescent bulb counterparts, LED lights do not contain mercury and therefore don’t require any special disposal.

Marineland’s Double Bright LED System is safe, reliable, efficient, and stylish. With a sleek design and modern profile, the Double Bright stays cool to the touch and produces little noise while remaining visually appealing. The LED system is designed to avoid heating the tank, keeping your fish safe and comfortable, while the extendable arms ensure a firm and stable position above any tank size.

Fish Only: Reef/Planted, No Read this and compare to the REEF lights, if you’re interested in putting one of these lights on your tank.I received my and was delighted when the light finally arrived.The fixture packaging was simple, yet sturdy and protective of the light fixture. It comes with two parts: the main body and the power cord. Easy, no brainer, installation!Just so you know, this light is going on top of a heavily planted, freshwater, 30 gallon tank, with the dimensions of, 30×18.5x12in. WxHxDLook wise, what was truly attractive, was the body being slim and sleek. No more clunky hood to stare at anymore!After reading the directions, a disappointing tidbit, was that Marineland (manufacturer label) required and recommended that the light be placed on a tank with clear acrylic or glass covers to protect the LEDs from water damage.My original intention was to leave the light directly above the tank, using the built in brackets it comes with.The unit is completely silent. A big difference for those that have fans for high output light that run very hot.The light output itself was sufficient, while not being the brightest I’ve seen. It doesn’t fill the tank with light like most lights do. It lights up the tank like how the sun lights up water when it shines through it. It’s like the light waves on the bottom of a pool when the sun is shining through the moving water surface. Imagine the shimmery effect in water, but with eight fill sources of light gleaming into the tank and bouncing off the tank floor. That’s the natural feel (almost mesmerizin strobe); unlike other lights which completely fill the tank with light.Because of that effect, the light doesn’t look like it’s putting out intense light. There are shadows and light waving almost everywhere with darker sides (width wise) to the tank. The darkness might be due to the fixture not completely spanning the width of the tank (the brackets expand so to fill the gap spaces).As for the LED lights, there are eight of the white lights that are split into two rows (4+4). The row of four moonlights are between the two rows of white light lights (white+moon+white).The LED lights throw very very little heat, to the point they can be called cool lights. Don’t expect them to heat your tank. They are physically touchable without burning your skin like regular light fixtures would.Curious and of interest, is when the fixture is turned on to white daylight, not only are the white LEDs on, but the moonlights are on also at the same time. When you switch to night mode, only the moonlights are on.Some people have complained that because there isn’t a separated switch for the white and moonlights it becomes cumbersome to have to manually change the light between modes when you have the light on a timer. It’s TRUE! Marineland, should make a solution to that problem and I’m sure many more people would buy the light due to the ability to put the lights on a timer with no fuss. The two reasons I could think of why they didn’t do so: 1) it costs more *not a good excuse* 2) because the moonlights are turned on in daylight mode, the lifespan of the moonlights would be extremely unproportionate to the lifespan of the white LEDs (assuming white and moonlight LEDs last the same amount of time).The expected LED life on the box is 16,000 hours of usage. So assuming you used your daytime lights 8-12 hours a day and at night your moonlights only, 12-16 hours.Your moonlights would FAIL in 667 days (16,000/24hours), compared to 1333-2000 days (16,000/12hours & 16,000/8hours) of white LED use.That’s a big difference (lifewise) and enough to justify to not leave the moonlight on, unless you really want it for constant viewing in moonlight mode.Quick conclusion:If you’re looking for a new look and are able to cover the LED expense, look past minor annoyances and like a natural wave strobe, this is the light for you. Good luck with it! I certainly, enjoy mine!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~P.S. So far the plants in the tank are doing fine after two weeks. I’ll update in a month or so to let everyone know if they are sufficing my plants.Part 2: Review May 21, 2011It’s been about a month and a half with the Double Brights 24″-36″ lights and I have to say it’s becoming apparently disappointing. The plants in my 30G freshwater tank that usually do well in moderate to high light are browning and failing. It just isn’t sufficient enough in the parts where the beam of light doesn’t shine directly on. Even with the beam directly on the plant, it’s hard to sustain growth due to the awkward size of the light, being smaller than…
Best non-DIY lighting you can get This light is fantastic. Uses very little power but bright and gives a fantastic look to the aquarium. Shimmer effect is awesome. Plus you can turn the blue lights on at night to see fish at night without interrupting them. Great for my black ghost knife and any other nocturnal fish.Its very slim and sleek – when resting on the aquarium the top of the light is maybe 1.5 inches from the glass – very low profile.The only problem – the blue night lights run all day with the regular lights, but are on the same switch, so you cant set a timer to make it so all the lights are on all day and the blue all night, you have to manually switch on the blue to use it. It will be relatively simple to install a new switch to do this, but requires time, parts, a new power supply, voiding warranty, etc ,etc. Would have been much better if they were separately controlled.I bought the 48″ LED for my 4 foot tank, and it looks great, but I sometimes wish I had gone with the 36″. It would leave 6 inches “unlit” on each side, but it would give a pretty cool effect I think, and is $100 cheaper. You can get two 36″ for the price of one 48.” I mainly got the 48″ because it is more powerful with more lights and I was thinking it would be able to support plants better. After being set up a couple weeks the plants are doing well, but we’ll see how it does long-term.Also you never have to replace bulbs. On a planted tank this is a major expense if you want to keep the bulbs producing usable light. This light claims to last 5 years before replacement, while most power compact and T8-T5 bulbs say 6-12 months or less, and are all fairly costly. This combined with the low energy consumption of the LED makes it much cheaper long-term.
Review three months after purchase I have used this light for a 10 gallon tropical fishtank for the last three months and am very pleased. I have fairly easy-to-maintain aquatic plants which are all growing very well even without CO2, although I use fertilizer and iron sometimes. Only some of the the very small foreground plants struggle a little bit. At first it seemed that the light does not reach into all corners of the tank but the plants seemed to grow regardless. I had to prune plants several times. The design is very sleek and there is no heat created by the light. LED gives the water a beautiful shimmer. Fish look nice, but the colors are not quite as brilliant as in my other fish tank with flourescent lights. Interestingly the less colorful fish look better. Although all fish and plants are doing well I wish it were a tad brighter to bring out the colors of the fish.After one year: It works very well for planted aquarium and seems to cause less algae growth than flourescent light.
