I just bought a 5-gallon tank to be my quarantine tank. It is the Marineland 5-gallon Hex tank. It came with a standard 15W bulb that a) is rather dim, b) is quite yellowish, and c) gets quite hot. I'd like to replace it with an LED light bulb.
I also own a Marineland 10-gallon tank that came with an LED lighting system. The LED lighting on that tank is 22 white LEDs and 2 blue LEDs arranged in a 2x12 configuration. On that tank the lighting can be "all on", "all off", or "only blue" (nighttime mode).
As my 5-gallon tank's light switch is only on/off, I don't need a nighttime mode. However, I would like to find an LED light (in a bulb form factor, so it will fit) with a similar 11:1 (white:blue) ratio. I find that ratio gives a very pleasant color output. The LED bulb must be under 15W.
Can anyone recommend such an LED light bulb?
THANKS!
