UVL 46 Inch T5 V-HO Super Actinic Bulb 420NM (54W/85W)

[whosjohnny]

Hi,

I got a burning question I thought I ask the community -- since for the life of me, I cannot determine if the description in this T5 bulb uses 54W or 85W? I see this all the time with T5 bulbs, they always list 2 wattages, which one is the real one?

Goto www.marinedepot.com or Google.com
and search for "UVL 46 Inch T5 V-HO Super Actinic Bulb "

TIA.

The bulb is specificlly designed to run overdriven at 85w Or normaly driven at 54w. This would be determined on the balast you are using ( If not icecap ballast then you are running 54w)

I see, thanks. I have IC 660, so it'll probably overdrive.
