What is LED aquarium lighting?
LED lighting uses light-emitting diodes to illuminate aquariums efficiently and with minimal heat output.
Benefits of LED lighting
- Low energy consumption
- Long lifespan
- Adjustable brightness and spectrum
Lighting considerations
- Freshwater fish-only tanks need moderate light
- Planted tanks require specific light intensity and spectrum
- Excess light can trigger algae blooms
Proper lighting duration is as important as intensity.
