Natural daylight has a balanced system which serves as a model and reference point for aquarium lighting.

However, regular fluorescent tubes only deliver a limited spectrum, giving a very „patchy“ picture compared to nature.
Full spectrum of the JBL SOLAR TROPIC
Full-spectrum tubes achieve a far more balanced reproduction of natural lighting, providing a lighting environment in your aquarium which closely mimics nature. In order that aquarium lighting meets these high standards set by nature, JBL selects full-spectrum. Why should you settle for less?
„Nature has adapted to this extensive spectrum. The JBL T5 “Natur“ and “Tropic“ luminants show a light range which is similar to that of sunlight. As we wish to use models to simulate the future warming of the climate and examine the effect on the living communities in the sea, these lights from JBL are highly suitable to simulate natural daylight.“ Quote Prof. Dr. Ulrich Sommer IFM-GEOMAR
