| Most commercial T5 fixtures, and almost all commercial LEDs come with a spectrum that I find to be deficient in red. This is especially so for LED fixtures that use purely white diodes. They will have a similar overall spectrum profile as the 6500K plain white LED diode above, which may grow plants ok, but give poor visual saturation & contrast and also is poorer at growing red plants compared to fixtures with higher red spectrum in their profile. As a general rule of thumb we suggest you spend as much on your lighting you spend on your aquarium! | assets/img/most-commercial-1.jpgGallery: most-commercial-2.jpg, most-commercial-3.jpg |

| MOST STANDARD AQUARIUM LIGHTS ARE DEFICIENT A 6500k plain white LED diode (left) vs a 2700k warm white LED diode (right). These are commonly used for household lighting & often make up the bulk of cheap aquarium LED light fixtures. Plain white 6500K diodes lack adequate red spectrum, which is why using LED fixtures with plain white LEDs often result in washed out visual colors, and poorer pigmentation in red plants even though plants may still grow. Warm white LEDs often work better for growing plants, however, they cast a yellowish visual tone on the tank as they lack adequate blue spectrum. | assets/img/most-standard-1.jpgGallery: most-standard-2.jpg, most-standard-3.jpg |
