Product Description
250 Watt 20000K Metal Halide Bulb - Aqualine AB, Double Ended

  • Size: 250 watt

  • The aqualine 20000 blue lamp emits light strongly in the blue end of the spectrum. The use of this “actinic” lamp enhances the fluorescent blue and green colors of many corals. The lamp should be used in combination with aqualine 10000. This combination gives the aquarium a beautiful bluish hue.

    Common questions/problems concerning metal halide lamps:
    1. Metal halide lamps of the same kind are different colors?
      Metal halide lamps operate by passing an electric arc through an arc tube that excites particles in the arc tube. When the metal particles reach an excited state they emit energy in the form of visible light. It takes 100 hours of operation before the metal particles stabilize and become a consistent color. All metal halides require 100 hours of operation before color and light output stabilize. All metal halides inherently have a slight color variation between individual lamps.
    2. The metal halide lamp fires and then either burns dull or the arc extinguishes?
      Usually the ballast and lamp are not receiving enough power. Metal halides pull a high current. Usually the problem is either there is too great a load on the circuit or the extension cords are of a small wire size and can`t handle the power needed by the ballast. Use only heavy duty extension cords and try running a ballast off a circuit from another part of the house.
    3. Do I need a cover shield between the lamp and the aquarium?
      Metal halide lamps produce a large amount of UV and also have a potential of exploding. The single ended metal halide lamps have an outer jacket which eliminates most of the UV. However, they have an inherent risk of exploding and UL requires metal halide lamps to be enclosed. On double ended lamps there is no UV shield. Double ended lamps must have a glass shield or major eye injuries including blindness may occur.
    4. Can I operate a ballast and lamp together which are designed for different wattages?
      Each wattage lamp and ballast are designed together for optimal performance and safety. If you over drive the lamp it may explode and shorten the life of the ballast and lamps. If you under drive the lamp it will also shorten the life of both components and also may explode. Do not mix different type wattages of lamps and ballasts.
    NOTE: Double ended bulbs should always be used with the UV shield (supplied with most pendants). You and your corals can suffer from excess UV radiation otherwise. The bulb should be handled carefully as well since it has no outer glass casing. Using soft gloves is a good idea to keep finger prints off bulb. This is during installation and replacement.
