Limited Time: Circular Mounting Bracket Included!
Welcome to the future of aquarium lighting!
Combine your favorite LED Light module between proven T5 lights to create the ultimate lighting system!
Accepts one Ecotech, AI, or Kessil LED Light Module
- Includes LED Light Brackets
- Powder Coated Aluminum Frame
- Individual T5 Reflectors
- Silicone T5 Sockets
- HEP Ballasts
Aquatic Life's T5HO Hybrid Lighting Fixture lets you combine your favorite LED light module between two banks of T5 lights. The T5 lights are powered by HEP Ballasts for fast firing and excellent color rendition. Each T5 lamp has their own reflector and is held in by traditional bulb clips that have a plastic coating to protect your bulb. Aquatic Life has even gone above and beyond by including silicone end caps that make changing bulbs super fast and easy.
When you combine LED and T5 lighting you can have the best of both worlds. T5 lighting has a proven track record with their full spectrum bulbs and edge to edge coverage, and almost anyone can have success with the right fluorescent lamps. Being in the 21st century everything we own must have some type of control, and that is where T5 fails, but LED shines. LED lights are known for their ability to ramp up and down giving dusk to dawn effects while being able to change colors and spectrums throughout the day as well. LED lights provide great shimmer, and when paired with T5 lights almost creates a realistic look that you would actually find in a shallow reef.
Pair the Aquatic Life Hybrid fixture with some of the most popular LEDs like Kessil, Ecotech, or Aqua Illumination for a successful combination of T5 and LED lighting. Each hybrid fixture includes two different mounts that can accept some of the larger lights like the Kessil A360 and Aqua Illumination Hydra FiftyTwo HD, but also some of the smaller modules like the AI Prime HD and Ecotech XR15w lights.
Important Note - While supplies last, fixtures will include the round mounting bracket for the Kessil A360. In the future, these will be available for separate purchase.

Tuning Your New LED Light
Most LED lights will actually put out more light than your corals will actually need and without a PAR Meter to test the overall output, it is really hard to guess if the light is too dim or intense. We highly suggest using a PAR Meter to test the output of your lights at different points throughout your tank that you can use to tune the lights output or know where to put specific corals.

Product Questions
There is not an available ballast that will fit in the fixture. We do offer a dimmable version of this light though https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/24-dx18-hybrid-dimmable-t5-ho-light-fixture-aquatic-life.html
Take care

Thank you for reaching out.
The 24 inch fixture only ships with a single bracket for the LED lights. You can purchase another bracket here:

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Have a great day!
The Aquatic Life T5HO 24" hybrid fixture would weigh in excess of 9lbs with a Kessil A360. The Kessil goose neck mounts are not designed to hold anything but a Kessil light, and anything else would not be recommended.
Happy reefing!
At this time there is no leg mounting option. :-)
With the 24" fixture, you will only be able to use 24W bulbs. As the bulb wattage rises, so does the length of the bulb. :-)
A 24" T5 fixture should be fine on a 32" aquarium provided you hang it high enough for proper coverage. There will only be 4" of open space on either side of the T5s so coverage will really come down to the LED fixture(s) you choose to use with the Hybrid unit, the desired light intensity, and coral placement. I would use the LED fixture's recommended coverage specs and take into account the added light provided by the T5 hybrid to make your final decision.
Great question! The mounting brackets can easily be moves side to side to allow for mounting of many fixtures. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can assist with. Thanks!
Thanks for getting in touch with us in regards to this light mounting into this fixture. For this you would purchase the item that I have linked below. Using that item will allow you to mount the fixture to the included bracket. This will make it all one fixture when mounted. Please let me know if there is anything else that we can assist with. Thanks!

2) What is the inside measure separating the HO-T5 fixtures?
3) How much does this fixture weigh?
4) Any future plans to make this T5 dimmable?
Thanks for getting in touch with us in regards to this light fixture. The center bracket is removable. The space between the T5 is 7.125". As far as the weight this would vary from fixture to fixture, but they are around 5-10lbs without the LEDS. As far as plans to make it dimmable this I do not have information on, but would assume that this would be coming in the future for this product. Please let me know if there is anything else that we can assist with. Thanks!
