Seen it before..somehow the output does'nt seem that bright compared to ATI or deltec.

Dymax T5 is normal output it cannot be compare with ATI or D&D or XGlare T5.

Meaning Dyman T5-NO

3feet = 30watts

T5-High Output

3feet - 39watts

Hope this helps.

I'm using both DIY & Dymax T5. Dymax is definitely dimmer than the others due to its lower wattage. I have tried using D&D tubes on Dymax too, it is still dimmer than my DIY D&D. Hence, I'm using Dymax to stimulate morning & dawn effects where it comes on 1st & switch off last (using actinic & aquablue tubes) so that the LS doesn't get a rude shock as it is dimmer & they can slowly adjust when my DIY comes on 1hr later.

However, if u r thinking changing its eballast, the casing is too small to house it. Unless put it externally.

Yup .. the Dymax lights output are dimmer due to their lower power rating are lower as compared to european T5 vendors. eg 40W to 54W in a 4ft tube size.

For me, it is a value for money ... my quarantine tank is powered by a Dymax 4ft T5 lighting.

Thanks guys for the reply. Its very helpful. As my tank is a FOWLR. I might consider this as an option and might add another HO T5 in the near future. NavyBlue saw you review I might have missed it. but saw the time that the review was posted after I have created this thread, might be some system bugs.
