Available in both freshwater and saltwater versions. Review: Worth every penny. - I found the Aqualight to be a perfect addition to my 55 gallon freshwater community tank. It's actinic blue bulb combined with it's 10,000k daylight bulb really show off my fishes beautiful colors, while also bringing my decorations to life. The dual 28 watt bulbs(this isn't a High Output fixture)provide plenty of power for my live plants to grow nicely as well. The cost of all this goodness is also as good as it gets for a dual light fixture, making this light a true bargain. Its size is also a good thing, allowing you to place two together(one in front of the other) on a 55 gallon tank, doubling the light output for less than others charge for a single dual lamp unit. You can also mix and match the T5 bulbs available to get the effect your looking for. From what I've seen, you can get actinic, 6,700k daylight, 10,000k mid day daylight, and a "color enhancing" bulb as well--a nice selection. All told, this is a well made, low cost solution for anyone wanting better quality light than their old single tube T8's fixtures can provide, for less cash than said fixture. Highly recommended! P.S. Someone on here claimed that finding non H.O. T5 lamps was difficult. All you have to do is google it and plenty of fish stores pop up that sell them. A little research goes a long way :-) Review: I like these fixtures and bulbs for their slim profile - I use Coralife Aqualife saltwater dual T-5 fixtures with an actinic 03 and a 10000K bulb for 50 - 90 gallon coldwater aquariums to display a variety of Alaskan invertebrates and fish. I like these fixtures and bulbs for their slim profile, energy efficient bulbs (28 w for 4' bulbs), and inexpensive costs both for the fixtures and the replacement bulbs. They light the tanks uniformly and the bulbs are quite long-lasting - up to several years or longer. The only problem I've encountered is that the thin acrylic lens strip tends to melt at the ends by the bulb holders, so apparently they overheat somewhat. Getting the bulbs out is tricky and I use my Leatherman pliers to rotate the bulb ends out of the holders. I've had one bulb holder also crack while getting the bulb out, although the fixture was about seven years old so that may well be the expected life for them - not too bad for the price paid and the service received. ## Features - Electronic ballast - Provides for a beautiful viewing experience - For use with saltwater and coral reef aquariums ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000HHQDKM | | ASIN | B000HHQDKM | | Brand Name | Coralife | | Controller Type | Remote Control | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (57) | | Date First Available | October 15, 2006 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00096316580237 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2.5 Pounds | | Item model number | 100105611 | | Light Source | fluorescent_aquarium_light | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Model Number | 100105611 | | Mounting Type | Floor Mount | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 48 x 3 x 1 inches; 2.5 Pounds | | Required Assembly | No | | Theme | Space | | UPC | 096316580237 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Coralife - **Item Weight:** 2.5 Pounds - **Light Source Type:** fluorescent_aquarium_light - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Theme:** Space ## Images ![Coralife 05611 Aqualight Dual Linear Strip T5 Aquarium Lighting Fixture, 48-Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XACTtXUCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Customer Package Type, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny. *by M***E on May 7, 2012* I found the Aqualight to be a perfect addition to my 55 gallon freshwater community tank.

Since it is a 48" long tank, it is difficult to find a light fixture at a decent price. This one was perfect. It is much smaller than the T8 tank that I had on my tank. I also think it is brighter than that one. I looked into buying new bulbs for the T8, but it was only slightly more to purchase this one than it was to replace the bulbs for my existing fixture. It it nice to have something smaller on the top of my tank. I was a little worried after buying this fixture because of the price compared to some of the lights available on the market. I have been completely pleased with this light. I have been using it for over 6 months now and it has never given me so much as an issue. For the price, it doesn't cost that much more than buying two replacement bulbs and it came with both a white and actinic. If you are looking for a fixture to put on your tank at an affordable price, then this is the light that you need. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3619856-coralife-05611-aqualight-dual-linear-strip-t5-aquarium-lighting-fixture](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3619856-coralife-05611-aqualight-dual-linear-strip-t5-aquarium-lighting-fixture) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
