I was thinking of upgrading my 10 gallon to either a 29 or a 20L. Right now my 10 gallon has an Eclipse 1 TL hood which I like.
If I got the 20L or 29 I'd use the Eclipse 3 hood found here:

I believe that unit has a pretty miserable wattage with 2 T8 lights at 18w/ea.
Has anyone used the upgrade kits like this one:

My question is this: the Eclipse 3 has two lights. This kit upgrades to "65w" is that just one light it replaces? Could you replace both and get 130 watts? Or is it upgrading to 65w for the whoe shebang?
I'd love to get ~5w/gallon if I made this switch and adding some more colorful plants.
Anyone ever do this or hear of someone doing something like this?
