LAFLORA S-Line 120 – 112 cm LED tube

This 112 cm LED tube is intended for aquarists who want to replace a fluorescent T8 tube in an existing hood or mount it directly on the glass. It combines a 96-diode spectrum (white, blue, red and green) with a remote that controls the light and its timer modes.

Why it matters

• The manufacturer states that the 18 W LED replaces a traditional 60 W fluorescent tube.
• The 96 diodes are split into 36 white, 24 blue, 24 red and 12 green, so the light can be set to white and blue only, colour only, or all channels together.
• The remote timer switches the light on automatically for 4, 8 or 12 hours per day, so no daily manual switching is needed.
• The tube is 26 mm in diameter, matching the T8 format, and comes with suction cups and adapters for mounting on the glass or inside the hood, including next to an existing tube.

What it works with

The tube is designed for planted freshwater tanks where the light needs to support plant growth and colour. Its 112 cm length suits hoods and tanks built for a T8 tube of that size. It can be used with any standard hood that takes a 26 mm T8 or LED tube, and it does not require a separate ballast.
