HQI and Mogul Base Lamps are made in Germany. The MegaChrome Marine 12.5K lamp is specifically designed for marine aquaria that demand a very high light intensity simulating natural sunlight within the first 5ft of water. Its special light spectrum has less red and more blue to enhance the brilliant and fluorescent colors of your fish and corals. Compared with similar Kelvin rated bulbs, the MegaChrome Marine lamps have a significantly higher lumen and PAR output and color stability in excess of 3000 hours.
The MegaChrome Coral 14.5K is the perfect light source for a bluer spectrum to simulate natural daylight on the reef at depths of 5 - 20ft. The spectrum is a slightly bluer than that of the Marine but retains the high lumen output and PAR values relative to its Kelvin rating resulting in the ideal light to show up the blue and green fluorescence of your corals. The high Kelvin values offered by this lamp are made possible by a special manufacturing process which ensures that both the light intensity and the color stability remain stable over a long period. The MegaChrome Coral promotes healthy growth amongst corals and creates fascinating colors in your reef aquarium.
The MegaChrome Blue 22K lamps have a color temperature in excess of 20K to recreate the effect of life at greater depths within the ocean and will add particular emphasis to the blues and greens of your corals.
The lamps can be used separately in fish only systems or are recommended in combination with the Marine or Coral bulbs for good coral growth.
