Brilliance in a straight line: Do you use a bar-shaped LED light?
Many of the current LED lights for reef aquariums range from puck shape to sleek form factors that can be stitched together to create the desired lightening coverage. Sometimes these lights are physical connected with brackets to create what appears to be a single fixture. However, bar lights do exist where the LEDs are actually part of a single fixture. Sometimes bar-shaped lights have been used as accent lights and other times the LED bar-shaped lights are the primary light. Do you use a bar-shaped LED either as an accent light or a primary light? Tell us about your lighting configuration in the discussion thread that follows!
Pro Tip: When deciding on light mounting height, in addition to the light intensity also consider light overspill and ease of access for maintenance. For overspill, this may include using light shades or angling the lights to keep the light in the tank. For ease of maintenance, this may include light heights that are adjustable.
