Coral Vue 175 Watt Metal Halide Lamp

Coralvue® metal halide bulbs feature the highest color quality for aquarium lighting. The Coralvue® bulbs have a great combination in color balance and color temperature. The appearance of sun light is replicated perfectly by the Coralvue® bulbs, which make for ideal lighting for your corals and fish. The Coralvue® bulbs are available in many sizes and color temperatures.

The HQI bulbs are available in 150W, 250W, and 400W. Coralvue offers three different color temperatures: 10000K, 14000K, and 20000K.

It is important that SE mogul base lamps are positioned in the correct burn position. Please refer to the drawing and notice the small glass nipple in the center arc tube of the lamp. It is critical, for the correct color temperature to be obtained, that the nipple be positioned in the 12pm location when screwed into the E40 mogul socket. To help align this position you may have to pull the center tab in the mogul socket out to gain some length where the lamps base makes contact with the center metal tab. Make sure that once positioned in the correct angle that the bulb is snug and stable in the socket.
