InterpetLED Energy Saving Lamp to Fit Fish Pod 48, 64 and 120 Litre Aquarium, 7 W - Bright Day White

Excellent replacement for the mini flourescant type bulbs that we normally used - although the power saving isn't that large between these and the CFL type bulbs 7w compared to between 11W and 15W the reason for shifting to LED was for longevity - the CFL type bulbs tend to fail after about 6 months to a year - we were spending money each time to replace - these LED have already lasted longer (hence time taken to write review)Very happy with these - bought both the daylight white and moonlight blue lamps - they are brighter and really show off the vivid colours of the fish much more than the traditional bulbs. Direct replacement like for like.

I bought two of these bulbs to replace the 18w fluorescent ones that came with my aquarium. They are super bright and really make the fish and aquarium look great. They are easy to fit and I like the fact that I can tilt the bulb should I want to if I wanted to have more light at the back of the tank, for example. The main reason I bought them was to save electricity and I understand they use less than 50% compared to the other bulbs. Overall, a good purchase that I am very happy with.

Worked great, nice change from the CFL and a lot less heat produced. Tanks plants really like them

Bought a pair of the original CFL bulbs in Febuary and both failed within a week of each other at the end of November same year. Based on using 10 hours a day (but probably lot less in reality), they only lasted less then half the projected life.While the bulbs worked, they were nice and bright, and Standard alternate bulbs were not up to the job in terms of light output or colour.I think they fail prematurely (I have bought many of these over the life of the tank) due to overheating in the light compartment with no enough heat venting, so I have switched to the newer LED replacement reviewed here.This LED bulb has got a pretty chunky heatsink on the top, which means it is important to position the LED part to point down. This might mean not fully tightening in the fitting?). To reduce the heat level in the bulb compartment further, I took off the metal reflective shield on the covers (this would not really be viable with the original type of bulb). I think this will allow better heat dissipation, and combined with the lower power (7W) of this LED version compared to 15W for the CFL bulb, I have reasonable hopes of a significantly better life span.The actual light output of the bulbs is very good and just as bright and white as the CFL version.4 stars currently, but will revisit this review after about a year (or before if one fails) .....

I have one white and one blue LED bulb in my 64l Fish Pod tank. They are both super powerful, and they seem to give off very little heat.The white bulb really sets off the white sand that I have, and the blue one gives a lovely dark, almost menacing night time light.I'm actually going to be replacing the blue one with another white one since the diffuser in the tank leaves one half very light, and one half very dark! Some people might like it, but I think I'll prefer a single colour of light across the whole tank. With bulbs in the middle of a smaller tank this might work better.I would certainly recommend these bulbs.

Bought this bulb as an alternative to current bulb which is hard to find. Had to send the first one back as it only lasted 27 hours - 3 hours a day x 9 days! Refund and replacement service was easy apart from finding an outlet that accepted returns. Replacement bulb arrived quickly and is approaching the 27 hrs use so we will see. Bulb is easy to fit and is nice and bright. Hopefully this one will last a good while!

Simple Xmas cards but good

Poor product. I bought two of these to replace the lamps that came with my Interpret Fish Pod aquarium. The first overheated rapidly and stopped working on the first day of use. The plastic buckled and the lamps drooped and then the LEDs ceased working. Amazon sent replacements. I gradually warmed them and lifted the lamp covers to prevent over heating. This helped, however, some of the LEDs no longer work after a week.
