thought UKAPS would be the place to ask about lighting! I've recently ordered one of the above (12"), to go on my Arcadia Arc 35l tank. I was wondering what people's thoughts are on this lamp, if anyone has any experience of it? when I ordered it, it was the first time I'd ever seen/heard of it. I think it's this one: http://www.wave-point.com/Lighting_folder/LEDHOClampLight.html

The deafening silince should show you talking about different LED lights isn't easy.
Not only are there a lot of manufacturers, but they also don't make test values available.
Mostly people will speak about a light they know, new ones are hard to gauge beforehand.

ok well I received this today - looked a bit confusing with all the bits but turns out it's pretty self-explanatory (it does come with instructions though). one thing to point out is that it doesn't have an on/off switch at all. if it's plugged in, it's on, unless you have a timer switch.
here's a before and after comparison:
standard old LEDs from eBay, not great for plants, had to put lights very low, carpet plants used to die off to the point where I gave up.
Wavepoint 6500k LEDs, clarity is much better, light penetrates much deeper even though it's higher up.

The big question Catherine is how much was it? Looking for a new light myself.
Thanks

I am looking at this one for a 40 liter tank?
would this be ok for a high-tech planted tank with co2?
how good is the light really?
I was looking at the TMC tiles but having to add a tile, a controller and the suspension kit is a major no no for a nano tank that cost me only 25£.
