Oh, I see.... ;-) Tim Not really ... unless you're dabbling in LED grow lights (hmmm). 250W HPS would be the bare minimum - 600W is probably a better bet. Nice to have an expert on board. What varieties do you recommend? Bill |

That would be for reef aquariums. Corals tend to need a lot of light. 300W of LEDs is common for a reef aquarium. |

But even so, 1kW is only c. 4.5A - hardly a worry for a decent ring main and 13A plug. Or have I missed something ? |
