what is the exact measurement of the light and the bulbs?...I am reading about a 41 inch version but cant really find it. My current flourescents are 36" long, but I have room for a 41" fixture. Its a 92 corner tank so it's a little odd any help would...

I have the 36" fixture. The fixture itself is 36" end to end. 38 1/2 with the legs fully extended. The led bulbs for the 36" is 30" long with 20 leds

The light fixture measures 19" in length but there is no frame to support it on a 10 gallon fish tank. Luckily, the fish tank had an existing frame from the old light so I reused that frame to support the new light. Also, the bulb is open to moisture but my old frame has a plexiglass window to shield the bulb from moisture and allow light through.

you have to measure the top of your tank - it sits on the edge from side to side. The 24" will have fewer lights than a longer one. I have three 48" lights on my 90 gal tank that is 48" wide, 18" from front to back and 36" deep.

I have these lamps from a few years ago and had a hard time finding replacement bulbs. I ended up just buying regular lightbulbs that fit, but stuck way too far out and did not work well. The specs listed say "30 Watt 5000K Daylight Balance Compact Fluorescent Photo Light Bulbs" which can be bought on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Daylight-Balanced-Fluorescent-Bulb/dp/B001MLBK0U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394214764&sr=8-2&keywords=30+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs But if it's saying 45W on what you have, then I guess the specs above are wrong! They do have 45W here: http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Fluorescent-Daylight-Temperature-Photography/dp/B004LONG0W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394215030&sr=8-2&keywords=45+Watt+5000K+Daylight+Balance+Compact+Fluorescent+Photo+Light+Bulbs

Reviews are saying the bulbs are large. Does anyone know the dimensions? The total length, the bulb length and the width at the widest point? Thanks

Hi, I just climbed up, took off the diffuser, and wrote down this information from the bulb: F13T5/3000K. I didn't take the bulb out, so I'm not sure precisely, but it's about 20 inches long, give or take half an inch. It is 1 inch thick. I also pulled out the instruction sheet. The instructions say "See the label on the fixture for replacement bulb type information. Do not replace with any other wattage of fluorescent bulb." So, you'd have to get the same wattage bulb (13 watts). They didn't specify that it has to be warm white, so I'd guess that you can probably go with cool white. I see online that there are such bulbs: F13T5/CW. If you want to double-check, you can contact GE or Jasco Products, which is the manufacturer: www.jascoproducts.com. I hope that this helps! By the way, in reading through the tiny print in the instructions, I see that this fixture is NOT supposed to be used over a sink, which is exactly where I put mine! However, my fixture is at least 4 feet over the sink, so I hope that it's fine this way. I've had it for almost a year now.

Sorry for such a long delay in my response. I put these lights in a safe spot in the garage a forgot where the safe spot was until now. LOL. These lights measure 6 5/16L x 1 13/16H x 2 3/8D. GREAT buy for the money!!

I replaced a flourescent light with the new fixture. I don't know what the wattage of the original flourescent light. I suggest asking an electrician.

The exact outside measurement is 36 1/4 inches. The "legs" on the fixture will extend that range by an inch or two. I think that some advertiser took the measurements of the box it came in at 41" and called that its length. I was confused by this at first as well. The 41" would have been just perfect for my jerry-rigged application.

The unit is exactly 24" in length with extenders on both sides that will extend the total out 26". I have a 48" wide 60 gal tank with a bar at the top in the center so I use 2 of the 24" units. I tried a 48" unit first but the center bar wouldn't allow the unit to sit securely. The units come with a single led bulb, but will house 3. You will want at least 2 bulbs per unit. In spite of the expense, I now have 3 bulbs per unit. Beware of knocking them into the tank! I managed to ruin one of the units by doing so! Best of luck!

By my measurements, the Topstar 75 watt bulbs are just a hair over 2 1/2" long. The base is 1/2" long and the base width is 7/16". I've only installed one since buying it and that was about a month ago. The light is bright and the price can't be beat. If I had to buy more in the future, I would definitely do it. Good luck on yours.

0 inchs on my fixtures. My exterior light fixtures had a small ballast of approximately the same size. Check yours, they have two lock tabs that slide down and then can be removed the same as the bulb.

The dimensions of the bulb are similar to a long neck incandescent. In fact, I had to adjust my fixture to about the limit in terms of length. I do like this bulb. The light color, focus and intensity are excellent. I am thinking of getting more.

You want full coverage of your tank. The minimum sizes of the fixtures are the actual length of the light bar, and then there are legs that pull out to extend to fit onto larger tanks. If you tank is 24" wide, you definitely want the 24" fixture, else you'll have a light that only lights up the middle, with 3" of unlit area to each side.

Yea for sure I'm using one light fixture on my 90 gallon tall tank which has a similar footprint with a 40 gallon breeder. 36 inch long 18 inch wide and 32 inches tall. The light is plenty strong make sure you hang it a east 12 inches from top of the water to get good light dispersal for a three foot tank. Also takes some careful aqua scaping so you don't get any shadows on the side. Mine looks like a volcano very high in the middle and slopes down on both sides so as not creating casting almost any shadows. I run it at almost 80-90 percent and eveif I ran two I would probably not have aqua scales this way but I like the look and my coral in the bottom sandbed are getting enough light. I get ton of coralline algae on the sides of the tank so I am pretty confident the light is spreading enough. I don't have a gazillion corals so I did not see the need for more than one light and having one now I can definitely see that I can surely add more in the future without any problems. I am even having luck with sps corals so this is the real deal! You will definitely not be able to run them up that high intensity since the breeder is so much more of a shallow tank but that's good because you will be saving on electricity, also another reason I ran one light... Make sure you a climate your corals from very little light these lights are super powerful!

Yes thats completely wacked. I recall more accurate dimensions when I bought mine unless the product has changed or Amazon has me mixed up with someone else. Mine in my hand, purchased over a year ago, is 4" in over all length about 2.25" in diameter. They have really helped get more light out of new fixtures with stupid little candelabra sockets.
