LAFLORA S-Line 100 – 92cm LED tube

The LAFLORA S-Line 100 is a 92 cm LED tube for aquarium covers that take T8 (26 mm) fluorescent tubes or other LED tubes. It suits keepers who want to replace an existing fluorescent light with a lower-wattage LED unit that has a full colour spectrum and a timer. It mounts on the aquarium glass with suction cups or inside the cover, including beside an existing tube.

Why it matters

• Low power draw: the unit draws 15W. The supplier states that this replaces a traditional 48W fluorescent tube.
• Four spectral channels: 30 white, 19 blue, 9 green and 20 red diodes (78 in total), so you can run white only, blue and white, colour only, or all channels together.
• Remote timer: the included remote sets the light to run automatically for 4, 8 or 12 hours a day, so the photoperiod does not need manual switching.
• Quartz glass housing: the tube is enclosed in quartz glass, which the supplier describes as durable and resistant.

What it works with

The tube is designed for planted freshwater and marine aquariums fitted with a standard cover, with the spectrum described for plant growth and colour enhancement. It does not need a ballast or other electronic control gear, so it can replace a fluorescent tube without modifying the cover. The provided suction cups and adapters allow mounting on the glass or inside the cover.
