Some advantages and disadvantages of twilight led aquarium lights

LED aquarium light has many advantages over other types of lighting for aquarium use. From dramatic energy savings, providing amazing color and shimmer effects, to long lamp life - LED lighting is now a very viable alternative to status quo aquarium lights.

Advantages of using LED lighting

    The units run at a very low heat compared to other forms of aquarium lighting, they have built in heat sinks and fans to disperse the heat, this also has the benefit of evaporation in the aquarium being at a lower rate.
    The LED aquarium light units have the capacity to be dimmed to a level that suits you or your fish, this feature is not commonplace with other forms of lighting and makes each LED unit very versatile in their use.
    The units do not emit any UV radiation, MH units and T5 lighting units do emit UV radiation.
    The depth that the lighting can reach in the aquariums is at a higher ratio compared to other units.
    Cheap running costs, the bulbs run at a very low wattage but still have the same power with their illumination.

Disadvantages of using LED reef light
    The initial outlay can be expensive; the LED lighting units are a fairly recent innovation and still are not being mass produced to the same extent as other forms of lighting. Over a period of time, the low running costs counter balance the initial cost but you still need the purchase money available when ready to buy.
    The units can still be hard to get hold off, most suppliers are selling their stock as fast as they receive it, this often means that you may have to pre order and be patient while the new stock is delivered.
