Can this be used to replace a 55 gallon aquarium light?

Yes it can if you are replacing the same length and T8 connector, but you need to pull the old ballast and just send the AC to one end of the LED lamp. It is very simple with the supplied instructions. If you have live plants you will need to research the K value (temperature) for the plants you are growing!

I bought this ballast for my aquarium light which is a 15watt T8 bulb the same as your part number f15t8. The ballast wasn't exactly the same but had the correct wiring a specs and is working just fine so far. I purchased it based on feedback fro other people. It should work just fine for you.

greetings, this lamp for marine aquariums REEF .. not for freshwater aquarium. Check and read carefully before making an unnecessary expense. If you want to buy is your decision: I do not know what the behavior of plants inside the aquarium with the lighting. I recommend and look ORBIT LED lamps .. Greetings. NelsonC

I wouldn't know. Personally I had to measure the top of my tank which is a 50 gal tall and covered with "egg crate" grate. The lights are true to size so measure the top of your tank and go from there. Hope that helps

I had the same problem after the light function stopped working. I ended up buying Fuloon 12V Multiple Color 30CM 21 X 5050 LED IR LED STRIP LIGHT Aquarium Lighting Fish Tank Light, with some modifications and adjustments i was able to put in a beautiful muliti functional lighting system. Too bad that the original lighting system was so cheap.

If you are referring to the 55 watt T5 4-pin cfl you should be able to replace it as long as it has the same 4-pin connection and your lamp is rated to take at least 60 watt bulb. Just letting you know this is a 4-pin connection not screw type.

same wattage... the lights are just spread out further to cover more area... I have two 16s for my 75 gallon and I like them a lot... with two I program the lights to follow across the tank as if the sun is rising passing over and setting.... having one light you could not do that... how ever, I would think on a 55 one 24 inch would suffice because it should cover more of an area than one 16 inch... same watts but more area covered.

The FugeRay2 may work, but Finnex makes another light that is expressly intended for your use. I currently have a Finnex Ray2 light that works very well on my 90 gallon (a bit over 25" deep) for plants on the bottom of the tank.

No. Do not waste your time or money. I had a 55 gallon... it fit perfectly, but I seriously couldn't even tell if the lights were on. There are 3 white lights in this whole strip. Do not purchase.

This light should be more than sufficient for your purposes. It is very bright and works quite well for plants. I no longer have an aquarium, but last spring I set it up for our garden starters; the plants under this light did much better than those under an ordinary full-spectrum light. I hope this helps.

Yes. I use this for a 46 gallon freshwater tank. The LED's emit less heat than a florescent, so there is low, almost no algee growth. It is not good if you want to keep live plants in the tank for the same reason algee does not grow. This single bright gives plenty of natural light, although I would like a little more night (blue) light. I added two small blue LED/bubble walls in back and it looks great at night!

Yes absolutely. Since the led light stick is not submersible it can light either fresh water as well as marine. For planted aquariums I find that just one stick/strip supplies more than enough light to keep hardy green plants healthy and happy. I love this light!

!!! NO !!! Nor can you use a Different Wattage Lamp! Ofcourse, I guess you could take all the "Ballast Stuff" out and then replace with just a "Regular Bulb"

As far as I know you can. You may want to get a stand for the light so that way it's not sitting directly in the top of tank or whatever you are using.

Depends on the size of the tank, and how it's positioned. I'd say it would be a poor aquarium light though. It's more cosmetic lighting than anything.

I would not use it I have a 55 gallon and it only light like a mall corner its not bright enough. I would use a long strip instead....

I would say no because I have it on my 55 gallon column tank and I still have my other light on there to make it brighter otherwise it's kinda dim
