Pre-Order Euroquatics E5 Retrofit T5 LED Lamps

[MarineDepot]

Ill try them out to see how they work but let me ask what is the life span of the lamps ??

The expected life span for the E5 bulbs is 5-8 years: similar to other higher-end LED lights. Euroquatics also offers an impressive 3-year manufacturer’s warranty on these.

would be great if Marine Depot and/or manufacturer could get a resident lighting expert to weigh in on their thoughts on e5.
Send some freebies to Sanjay Joshi and encourage a long-term trial run. His full report will be valued

We have several expert hobbyists testing these, and other, lights. The feedback thus far has been quite good. Euroquatics surely has other companies/experts testing their products as well, although you may want to suggest this specific idea to them. They may respond favorably!

E5+vs+T5HO+Lamp+Performance+-+475.jpg So I found this image it compares the T5 vs E5 bulbs, how is it that the chart showing that the T5 last up to 5 years and the E5 lasting 8 years. When we change out the T5 once a year how do we know that the E5 will last 8 years is there 8 years of data for these bulbs over a thriving coral tank. I'm asking because I don't want to just jump into something new on the market.

The chart doesn't show T5 life of 5 years, it show that they drop below usable level at about a year. Output does not equal "work" when you're talking about reef tanks.

Thank you for jumping into the conversation! I was just typing up a response, but was debating emailing you this post first so you could weigh in.

Just ordered a 36" blue POP to replace one of my t5 bulbs in my Aquaticlife 6 bulb t5 light fixture. Keep you guys posted on my results!

What bulbs did you run with it? What's it look like? Do you like the bulb?
