Default plain old fluro

what good is 2 plain-old 8 watt fluro lights in a tank that is 16

inches
high? This is an unused tank and I want to keep a few spare plants

in,
will these lights do any good?



Low to moderate light plants would be ok. It helps to reduce the water
level a bit.....but still you should be fine... If the bulbs are older
than a year or so of continuous use, then get new fresh bulbs...more
light output. They get less bright as they age......and finally will
emit almost no light and the bulb will just glow...a bit...
