Wattage measurement 11/20/08
Hello
<Ed>
I was always under the assumption that the wattage measurement
on an aquarium was an accumulative value of all the bulbs above the
tank.
<Tis.>
I was recently informed that is not correct. Two 96
watt CF bulbs are only putting out 96 watts, not 192. Is there any truth
to this?
<If you mean one bulb that has twin tubes, yes. Many of the
CF bulbs have multiple tubes connected at the plug-in.>
