As a consequence of this assumption, the rule of thumb "watts per liter" was established. In the aquarium hobby, people would regard the wattage (falsely) as equal to the light intensity, true to the motto "what consumes much, must generate a lot of light". the power consumption of an electric or electronic device. The unit "watt" defines the performance, i. This parameter can help you compare the brightness of various models. When purchasing LED lighting, you should consider the manufacturer’s specification of the lumenage of the lighting system. Lighting with a high lumenage is perceived as particularly bright by the human eye. This parameter expresses the rate at which the light is generated. Lumen is used for measuring the luminous flux emitted by a light source. In the article mentioned above, we’ve already covered the unit lumen in detail. In this article, we'll explain how the efficiency of aquarium LED systems can be defined more exactly, which makes the comparison between the different lamps easier. However, depending on the light-emitting diodes that have been used to build the LED light, there may be differences in the luminous efficacy. Modern LED lighting is characterized by the fact that it consumes significantly less power than conventional HQI, T5 or T8 lamps. In the article "Aquarium LED", we've already described how you, as an aquarium owner, can calculate the performance of your old lights such as fluorescent tubes or metal halide bulbs so you can replace them with LEDs without sacrificing light intensity.
