For a planted tank the useful question is not how bright it looks but whether the output matches the plants: easy, low-light plants such as mosses, Anubias and Java fern do well under roughly 10 to 20 lumens per litre, while demanding plants and carpets want more than double that. LEDs run cool and use little power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized and powered for tanks of a few litres to a few tens of litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnough output for low-light mosses, ferns and Anubias\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow heat and low running cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsage \u0026amp; Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount it on the rim or bracket as the maker describes, keeping the unit and its cable above the water line.
