IM chaeto grow 2 in one 9 watt

[Hilltopreef90]

Does anyone know if you can join two 9 watt lights together to make a 18 watt ?
I need the light to be wider not longer and should have gone with the 18 watt but I’m wondering if the two 9 watts can be joined in the center increasing the width and watts ?

Do you mean run them side by side? It looks like the 18w is just a pair of 9w.

Call Paul at IM. He provides great customer service.

I’m wondering if the 9 watt can be attached in the center to the other 9 watt to create an 18 ‍
or if I should just buy the 18 watt and replace it with the 9 watt

 

[Lavey29]

I looked at mine and there is a slide rail on both sides but Paul can tell you if it is possible to attach them.

If you buy the 18 it's only one plug. 2x9v means two plug outlets needed.

 

[Hilltopreef90]

That’s what I also considered, I guess I could always try to sell the 9 watt. I already have too many plugs to deal with

I was thinking, if I’m going to replace my light with the 18 watt IM chaetolight , maybe there’s a better light that I should try?
many suggestions ? My basket is only about 5x10
Currently the 9 watt doesn’t position in a way that I can center it on the basket, although the 18 watt should provide better coverage, maybe I should try something else

I just got the Neptune Gro light to replace my IM.

I'm curious, is that in any way different from the grow light Inappropriate Reefer, on YouTube, uses? Besides the orange rubber? He showed his, and it was literally identical. Did they change out some diodes, or something? Is it just worth the extra because it plays nice with an Apex?

Oh I'm sure various companies copy and paste but I can't answer your question. It comes ready to connect to apex energy bar which sucks because they do not give you a 12v option. You have to order a separate plug adapter which I found out after the fact.
