A
reflector is the reflective metal housing that directs light from the bulb into the aquarium. The advantage is that you get more
light and intensity out of your bulb for optimal coral health
and growth. |

Wattage
measures the amount of electricity in a bulb. The higher the
wattage, the brighter the bulb. Kelvin rating measures
the color and intensity of the bulb. The higher the K, the more
blue the light. The lower the K, the more yellow. 10K is white
light. 14K is bluer. And 20K is bluest. 10K (white light) is
best for fastest coral growth but not color. 20K (blue light) is
best for color but not for growth. We recommend 14K for coral
growth and color.
