mumofthehoarde Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi Everyone, I have 10 Aquaone LED36 lights on my "Hilton" tanks. They arent super bright that is for sure but they do the job nicely. Tonight I am installing 6 new Aquaone LED36 lights on my new rack of tanks and WOW, compared to my old ones, they are really bright. The question I am asking is do LED lights fade? Any ideas on why my new ones are so much more brighter. My "old" ones were only installed in February so they arent really "old". Thanks Michelle Please excuse the dumbness of this question, but I have never used LED lights before this year. Thought I would give them a try as to cut down on the electricity.

fishbites Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 There are different types of LED's so its possible one light had the smaller ones installed perhaps? Haven't really had a look at the Aqua One LED lights so can't really offer a better answer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch33 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Are the lenses dirty on the older ones from moisture and dust? As mentioned there are different types of led and possibbly the supplier has changed them or may have changed something in the power supply as I think led can be overdriven so a little more voltage may make some difference And yes from my understaning led will fade with time as do tubes but I would think it would take a lot longer than 6 months Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumofthehoarde Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 They didnt look that dirty but when I clean them I was surprised at how much dust was actually on them. They still arent as bright as the new ones but a definate improvement. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
