JBL SOLAR TROPIC T8
Product information
Light as energy source
Plants provide the aquarium with the oxygen vital for the aquarium dwellers. Plants prevent algae
growth, remove pollutants, provide hiding places and reduce pathogens. The right full-spectrum light is
important to achieve full photosynthesis.
Easy to install
Insert the fluorescent T8 tube socket into the fixture and turn until the tube locks into place.
Nature as a model
With its light colour and its spectral distribution of the light the tube meets with 4000 K the needs of the
plants. It supports their growth and their photosynthetic performance. Perfect plant growth inhibits the
growth of algae. The warm light with the colouring render index 1 A means plants and fish present
themselves in their natural beauty.
The full daylight spectrum
JBL full-spectrum tubes create light conditions modelled on nature and reproduce a balanced natural
lighting. Tested by the IFM-Geomar Leibnitz-Institut für Meereswissenschaften and rated as very good
and “Comparable to natural sunlight”. With energy efficiency class B the tube is particularly energy-
efficient.
Correlation between light spectrum and light intensity:
To create a very light tube you only have to intensify the yellow-green spectral range. Adding a little
more red and blue will prevent the light from looking too yellow. That’s how it is done with most tubes!
However, we don’t want to illuminate a living room but a planted aquarium with different demands,
including ALL the spectral ranges of visible light (rainbow colours) to promote perfect growth. That’s why
JBL has designed “full-spectrum tubes”, which include all the spectral ranges with NOTHING missing. In
return they are slightly less light than other fluorescent tubes. The output of a tube is always 100%, but
it is important to know which spectral ranges they cover!
