What is a Retro-fit LED tube?
Retro Fit lamps are an excellent product designed for replacing outdated lighting systems based on fluorescent tubes. The use of LED lamps with Power-LED diodes far surpasses the ordinary fluorescent tube, providing significantly more light, energy savings, longevity, and a much faster and more lush growth of plants.
Are fluorescent tubes or LEDs better?
Diodes offer energy savings of up to 75% compared to fluorescent tubes, and most importantly, they generate much more light directed downwards, rather than around like a fluorescent tube.
Using Hsbao Retro-fit lamps significantly reduces power consumption, which is quickly felt by the user.
An additional excellent advantage of Retro Fit lamps is their longevity. The lighting effectively lasts up to 12 years without changing its parameters. Comparing this advantage to traditional T8 fluorescent tubes, which need to be replaced every 6 to 9 months, it's easy to see that using LED lighting is entirely economical and satisfying.
It is also worth mentioning that LED lighting does not generate heat, which is significant during the warm season.
What makes Retro-fit Hsbao better compared to other LEDs of this type?
Retro-fit Hsbao clearly stands out from the competition. First of all, Hsbao, as one of the few companies, provides a full spectrum of visible light colors. The white color is achieved by mixing light in different colors. This greatly improves plant growth and highlights all the natural colors of the aquarium.
The second important and attractive advantage is the ability to have full control over the light, its power, and color, using a remote control.
Additionally, the LED lamp is placed inside a glass tube made of the highest waterproof and transparency standards. This solution does not block the flow of light and, moreover, does not become cloudy over time like the plastic tubes of competing Retro Fits.

What light does it offer?
Hsbao Retro-fit in a freshwater aquarium:
- the lamp offers as many as 6 color mixes supporting photosynthesis:
The light mixes of shades of yellow, red, and white come in different types. To create color mixes, the lamp uses light with color temperatures of 3000K, 4200K, 5500K, 6500K, 7500K, and 8500K. It is the mix between the individual colors (e.g., 3000K + 6500K + 8500K) that creates the light emitted by the lamp.
- the lamp can support the coloration of plants and fish with 5 additional colors:
The lamp will emit shades of light blue, giving shimmering reflections to fish like Neon Tetras. Green colors can also be used to add freshness and colors to plants or decorations (roots, stones, etc.), enhancing their stronger hues.
- the lamp also offers night light in four colors:
The shades of blue will imitate moonlight in its various phases. The ability to brighten and dim the light allows for adjusting the night glow according to the user's needs and the aquarium.
Hsbao Retro-fit in a Malawi type aquarium:
Shades of blue and white with blue give shimmering reflections, highlighting white or light sand and "enhancing" the colorfulness of the fish. Thanks to the large number of colors in each shade, the user can emphasize some of them in the aquarium.
Hsbao Retro-fit in a marine aquarium:
- use in the main tank:
The main light can be selected between typical actinic and marine light. Available light shades include blue (Actinic Blue), pink (pink INT), or light blue with white (Shallow Water), allowing for color enhancement in the marine aquarium. Additionally, the multicolored light promotes the coloration of corals. With a large number of colors, one can choose, for example, this selected one to "enhance" the colors of a chosen group of corals.
- use in the refugium:
Strong shades of red, pink, and other derivatives allow the lamp to be adapted for use in a refugium, where it can become the main lighting, perfectly promoting algae growth.
- the lamp also offers night light in four colors:
The shades of blue will imitate moonlight in its various phases. The ability to brighten and dim the light allows for adjusting the night glow according to the user's needs and the aquarium.
What functions are available in remote control?
In addition to the ON/OFF function, we gain access to several colors of the lamp's light, allowing the user to "enhance" the selected colors of plants or fish in the aquarium. The remote also has a dimming and brightening function. This feature allows for adjusting the power and amount of light to meet the specific needs of the tank, and additionally enables the use of Retro'fit Hsbao as both daytime and nighttime lighting.
What LEDs does the Hsbao lamp have?
The diodes are based on Power-Led technology. The lamp features light sources in various colors. The individual colors of light result from mixing light from different diodes. This solution provides the aquarium with all the necessary light colors, which significantly affects the coloration of fish and plants, and additionally supports photosynthesis and plant growth.
How to install the LED tube?
Retro-fit Hsbao has the thickness of a traditional T8 fluorescent tube. It can be successfully installed in the holders of the old fluorescent tube. The product has its own power supply system with an additional switch and controller. The lamp will not use the old system that powered the fluorescent tube.
