39w Coral Wave tubelight - Is it good?

Unread post by tetra »

Just bought a SunSun light set JL-1000 http://www.sunsun-china.com/en/product/html/?1342.html in Chennai for my 3 feet (40 gallons) planted tank.
It has 4 x 39w (total 156w) coral wave tube lights which are pure white in color. Can you please provide details on this tube light

1. What is Coral Wave? Is it T5 HO?

2. Is it suitable for Planted Tank?

Thanks.

Normal 3 footer T5s are 21 watt so they would be T5HO.
