水草情迷

今日到魚街閒逛時見到某間鋪頭內的展示缸只用了2支ADA管, 草草都十分綠, 矮珍珠也不時嘔泡, 連在流木上的藻也非常綠, 還嘔個不停.....於是便二話不說叫店員拿了一支買來試用....哈哈^^" 效果好像不錯.....好光好白, 比較之下, 之前用的nec三波長立刻顯得很黃......

轉後:http://www.pbase.com/image/6674801

不知各位有冇人都用緊ADA管? 效果如何? 請幫忙灌灌水吧.....

我之前都係用ADA32w,效果唔錯,但太貴,三,四

幾多錢?

ADA 光管問題
1. 色溫 (k)
2. 總額發光的流動率 (lm)
3. 平均壽命 (Hrs)
4. 價錢 ($)

謝謝

monkey兄:
鹵素燈都會是我的best choice, 因色溫夠高, 可見光普又夠大, 對草草真的好得沒話說.....但因依家個缸只得20", 若加鹵素會有點妹仔大過主人婆的感覺, 而且此缸是放在房內, 鹵素所產生的高溫不易散去, 所以小弟暫時還是選用FL.....

remus兄:
15w, $100

~SAM~兄:
k, lm 都不清楚, 因盒面並沒有註明, 上ADA官方網頁亦找不到, 可能是商業秘密吧, 但自己判斷大約6,000多K左右吧.....而壽命方面, 相信和一般草管差不多吧.....以每日開8-10小時來計算, 都是4-5個月左右便要換吧.....但實際情況並不清楚, 因盒面亦沒有註明, 要用過後, 或問問其他前輩才知了........

鹵素燈150w幾錢?
人

整套計的話, 是有平有貴的, 由百多元的 diy 級, 到幾千蚊的專業級都有, 如果單以燈膽計, 150w / 5200k 色的就百多元一個膽.

找找 "hqi" "鹵素燈" 或列精華區看看吧.

Hi,

Anyone know if I can fit the ADA FL tube to Atman 管架? According to shop keepers, the length of ADA FL tube is different from ordinary FL tube, but I found the tube holders inside the Atman 管架 can be adjusted a little bit.

And also what is the W/lenght of ADA FL tubes? ADA web site didn't said anything about these...
Thx for advise.

ADA Tube Watt and Length

32W is 830cm.(32.7inch)
18W is 580cm（22.8inch).

If your lamp holder can adjust the length by 2 to 3 inch, it can fit ADA tube.

Thx Alex. Is it ok if I fit a 32W tube to a 25W tube holder? Thx.

25w 和 32w 用的火牛 w 數應該唔同喎, 就算長度符合, 可以裝得上, 功率輸出都會有問題呀. 最好查一查你的火牛輸出先啦.

Thx Super for reply. After all these hassle, I believe it is nt worth it to force ADA into non-Japanese 管架.

nec三波長 has relatively low K, that's why it is yellowish.
I used nec 27W PL nec tube, 3 band, daylight, but still find it yellowish and not so bright. (my friend guessed the maker designed it so to protect the eyes since it is for table lamp use).
Moreover, it is expensive! (~$100 @).
Recently, i switched to 36W PL, 6500K, replacing 2 27W NEC PL with 1 36W PL. The diff is striking, the light is brighter(slightly) and much whiter, and the plants like it better. Plus, it is cheap too ($40@).
So, in summary, change $200 bulbs (total 54W) with a whiter, somewhat brighter $40 bulb (36W). Save money, save electricity. The 36W PL is an Italy brand too, not the china-made PML!

But If you can change the ATMAN transformer to an Electronic transformer (cost about $1xx to 2xx) , the performance and life of FL tubes will be better and the lamp holder will be better utilized (from 2x25W to 2x32W).

Alex, any good recommendation on where to buy the electronic transformer? Is it just a simple swap of transformer?
So the calculation begins : (my tank is 30" and I am using 4 x 25w FL)
change of transformer : say $150 x 2
ADA tube x 4 : say total $ 600
Total is $900!!!!
Too expensive for me la. May be its time to think about HQI.
