What Is High-Lite T5 Technology?
November 4, 2009 by JustJuwel
When it comes to getting their hands on the best compact aquariums available, most people gravitate naturally to JUWEL Aquariums at the drop of a hat. These aquariums are quite popular due to their inherent ease of use and the sheer convenience of setting up a tank or two. Aside from the fact that there is also a good selection of designs to choose from, the newer JUWEL Aquarium lines are now also being equipped with the High-Lite T5 Technology, specifically those of Lido 120, the entire Rio Line, the Trigon Line and the Vision Line.
What exactly is High-Lite T5 Technology and how does it compare with the previous T8 light unit?
As the name suggests, this newest addition to the company’s arsenal is a piece of lighting system that allows JUWEL Aquarium owners to provide maximum illumination to their tanks. Specially made to fit specific tank dimensions, this new lighting system is used to customize the aquatic backdrop that the fish keeper prefers, without going through all the trouble of having to affix unnecessary décor or installing harsh lights. The light spectrum of the High-Lite T5 Technology ranges from: Day, Nature, Colour, Blue and Marine – all of which can be streamlined for both freshwater and salt water tanks.
Although the standard T8 light unit works well enough for some aquarium enthusiasts, others would prefer to install lighting systems that would best mimic their aquatic pets’ natural environs. For example: the High-Lite Blue affords an almost realistic display that showcases the deeper parts of ocean water. It can also mimic darker waters that are kinder to nocturnal water dwellers. High-Lite Colour is best suited for very colorful marine pets and their equally colorful corals because it highlights (but does not overwhelm) the lighter hues of greens and yellows under water.
On the other hand, High-Lite Nature leans towards the darker shades of green, which accentuates the colors of the plant life and the shades of blue in marine fish, and the different shades of reds from the crustacean floor dwellers. High-Lite Marine helps emphasize the paler colors of the aquarium, particularly the yellows, pinks and whites; and that may help make the more vibrantly colored fishes really pop out. High-Lite Day mimics natural sunlight filtering down to the ocean floor, during the greater part of the day.
As such, JUWEL Aquariums Lido 120, the Rio Line, the Trigon Line and the Vision Line are all fitted with the High-Lite Day and High-Lite Nature lighting systems. But both of which can easily be replaced with the other spectrum of colors in case the fish keeper opts for a different lighting system.
