The Aqualine 10000 lamp has a color temperature of 13000º Kelvin and a high percentage of the light output is at the blue end of the spectrum. aqualine 10000 was the first metal halide lamp to simulate the lighting conditions on a coral reef and the new lamp gives an even more realistic looking aquarium as the improved twin getters give long term color stability. The corals show their natural colors, and the lighting intensity encourages excellent growth. aqualine 10000 helps to transform your aquarium into a perfect reef tank.Common questions/problems concerning metal halide lamps: Metal halide lamps of the same kind are different colors?Metal halide lamps operate by passing an electric arc through an arc tube that excites particles in the arc tube. When the metal particles reach an excited state they emit energy in the form of visible light. It takes 100 hours of operation before the metal particles stabilize and become a consistent color. All metal halides require 100 hours of operation before color and light output stabilize. All metal halides inherently have a slight color variation between individual lamps. The metal halide lamp fires and then either burns dull or the arc extinguishes?Usually the ballast and lamp are not receiving enough power. Metal halides pull a high current. Usually the problem is either there is too great a load on the circuit or the extension cords are of a small wire size and can`t handle the power needed by the ballast. Use only heavy duty extension cords and try running a ballast off a circuit from another part of the house. Do I need a cover shield between the lamp and the aquarium?Metal halide lamps produce a large amount of UV and also have a potential of exploding. The single ended metal halide lamps have an outer jacket which eliminates most of the UV. However, they have an inherent risk of exploding and UL requires metal halide lamps to be enclosed. On double ended lamps there is no UV shield. Double ended lamps must hav
