FAQ:
Q. Can I mount this into my canopy?
A. We wouldn't recommend that. This design is better suited to be suspended from your ceiling or other support structure.
Q. I heard that you should remove the glass lid and glass cover from my lighting in order to get more light to my tanks, is this true?
A. Absolutely NOT! NEVER run ANY electrical component such as lighting directly over exposed water!!! Metal Halide bulbs, especially HQI, need to be run completely enclosed and protected from the elements, such as water splash and humidity. Running HQI without the glass will expose your tank, and you for that matter, to dangerous UV light rays. Direct UV exposure can kill your corals and plants.
Note: Expedited shipping (3 Day Select, 2nd Day and Next Day Air) charges may be more than those listed at checkout. When safely packaged for shipping, these units are heavy. We will call you if the charges exceed those listed at checkout. This does NOT apply to ground shipping.
Hellolights highly recommends the use of a ground fault circut interrupter with all of the lighting equipment we offer. With the correct installation and proper precautions taken you can avoid electrical shock or electrocutions.
