Jewel corner tank lighting

[Debbie]

Hi. I've just joined.  I was wondering if anyone can help me?
I have a Jewel 350 tank, but the light has broken. Probably down to
Me not changing the caps to protect from water ingress.
Does anyone know if I can use any thing else to light my tank rather than buy another jewel unit.  I would love to get away from the old type bulbs

Thanks in advance xxx

I still use the original lighting after 16 years, so can't advise, other than you need to change both tubes. I only change the end caps every 7 or 8 years.......

I went through 3 sets of juwel lights not knowing that the end caps were suppose to be replaced (This was added to the "instructions" with the third unit. 

In the end, I closed the tank down as I was not in a position at the time to replace the unit as the warranty had elapsed.  I moved house a few months ago and got the tank out of storage and I am currently in the process of building a new hood to accommodate some LED lights.

I came across these the other day while looking for blue lights, is that any good?
