Full-spectrum fluorescents are available in a variety of lengths and wattages in three formats: regular, High-Output (HO), and Very-High-Output (VHO) formats.

Their popularity in use is due to greater luminosity; a regular 48" lamp is defined as 40

This artificial ecosystem would mimic the composition of seawater, the water motion created by wind and tides, temperature, and of course, the intensity and spectral qualities of sunlight as it is filtered by clear oceanic water.
