In the world of reef keeping, light is energy. While LEDs have revolutionized efficiency, many hobbyists find that metal halide reef tank lighting provides a unique, high-intensity output that mimics the sun more accurately than any other light source.
Hybrid Hybrid reef lighting is a unique blend of metal halide high intensity discharge (HID) bulbs and florescent T-5 tubes, in the same fixture. This combination of depth-penetrating, extremely bright halide lighting plus the coral-stimulating properties of T-5 tubes provides a potent light source for SPS and LPS corals.

This particular example perfectly highlights why Hybrid Tuned Metal Halide Lighting For Reef Tanks is so captivating.
Metal Halide reflectors are widely used on many successful reef tanks because they simply work. Most other lighting systems try to imitate halide lighting and fail when it comes to the perfect amount of shimmer and intensity.

Reef Brite products are perfectly matched to meet the demands of the discriminating aquarist. The Reef Brite Halide Hybrid features a specially designed aluminum reflector which maximizes light transmission while controlling proper lamp temperature for optimal lamp performance.
