Poseidon's Realm: LED Lighting

 





Radion XR30 G5 Blue LED Light Fixture - EcoTech Marine

 

The EcoTech Radions have been a standard in aquarium lighting for a reason. Each generation incorporates the latest in design and technology to yield a a state of the art product with proven success. With the new Radion G5 model, the evolution continues.

  • Optimized LED Placement - Geometric LED placement produces a wide but even PAR distribution and a balanced intensity to reduce hot-spots and benefit coral health.
  • Next Level HEI Optics - Hemispherically Edge Illuminating Lens Technology improves spread and color mixing without sacrificing shimmer, giving the reef a realistic underwater appearance.
  • Moonlight Mode - Dual color dedicated to moonlight channel for nighttime aquarium viewing.
  • Advanced Heat Management - An all new fan design keeps the G5 cooler and quieter than ever before.
  • Integrated Dust Protection - Mesh guard to keep dust out of the Radion fan and heat sink.
  • Uni-body Lower Cover - Tighter tolerances and the removal of potential water ingress weak points improve longevity in moisture rich environments.

Beyond Peak PAR

The best aquarium lights excel at two things: providing the light that marine life needs to grow and thrive, and accomplishing the goals and desires of the aquarist. The Generation 5 Radions do both.

Technological improvements in LED and optics technology deliver wider, even spread at optimum PAR levels. Balanced light spread facilitates coral placement and delivers more usable real estate without risking over-lighting directly beneath the fixture.

Impressive performance improvements in the G5 platform come from moving energy wasted in hot spot PAR to total luminance. The result is a significant increase of usable in-tank light, more even converge, and visually brighter more pervasive light in the aquarium.

The new Radion G5 lights deliver the following:
  • PAR at the ranges needed
  • Wider spread
  • Overall 35% more light
  • Beautiful Caustics
  • Smooth color mixing

Pro vs. Blue

The new G5 Radions come with two amazing options: G5 Pro & G5 Blue.

G5 Pro From aquaculture to the home aquarium, there is a high likelihood that the coral you know and love has been grown or "colored-up" under a generation of Radion Pros. The Pro series is powerful, flexible, and proven.
  • Full Spectrum
  • 10 Channels
  • PRO Balanced LED Mix
  • At 100%: Proven Halide Spectrum and Previous PRO Spectrum
  • Flexible Output
G5 Blue The aquarium light for those who know exactly what they want. The Gen 5 Blue is full spectrum, but LED selection favors the blue channels and high output at the proven AB+ spectrum.
  • Full Spectrum
  • 10 Channels
  • Blue Dominant LED Mix
  • At 100% Proven Corrallab AB+ Spectrum
  • Easy Spectrum

Aqua Illumination Hydra 64 HD LED Light Fixture - Black

You may be asking, "Is it possible to make the most popular aquarium lighting in the world any better?", and Aqua Illumination will tell you "The Prime 16HD, Hydra 32HD, and Hydra 64HD!" The new Hydras will give you MORE COLOR, MORE SPREAD, MORE POWER and MORE REFINEMENT without any sacrifice, keeping the along the lines of AI greatness. Better yet, the new Prime and Hydras are offered at the same price as their predecessor, giving you more bang for the buck!

What`s New and Cool:

Design

The plastic construct of the new Prime and Hydra lineup benefits in two ways: better efficiency and better looks. The improvement to efficiency reduces the demands on active cooling for longer component life. Improvements to design a thinner fixture reduces their profile and presence over your aquarium.

Resilient

Design improvements were made to the new Prime and Hydras to make them more water resistant, meaning that they are more resilient in moisture rich environments.

Moonlight

A dedicated moonlight LED and channel has been added, so now you can control moonlight separately from the other channels allowing for simulation of the natural lunar color and intensity.

Control

myAIŪ app is free to download to control your lights simply and quickly with direct BLE connection.

Optics and Output

Referring to PAR, the output, color mixing and spread has all been improved. With more LEDs, providing a full spectrum is targeted with TIR lenses that shape the output of the light while improving efficiency. As a result, there is more color pop, a wider spread, and higher average PAR. The combination of LED placement and lens geometry help blend the light cluster, reducing the color separation.

The New Prime and Hydras share the same cluster of LEDs with the new optics.

HD

The HD function of routing the power not being used by one channel into another is still a loved feature among the HD lineup - if it isn`t broke, don`t fix it, right?

Mounting

Mounting hardware as previously available for Hydra and Prime fixtures will work with the new version lights. The exception is the Hydra Flex arm which will require a different light bracket due to the size difference in the new fixtures. The Flex arm bracket will change with he new fixtures. Older flex arms being used to mount the new lights will need a new light bracket.

New Feature Breakdown:

  • More LEDs
  • More PAR
  • More spread
  • Improved optics
  • Improved water resistance
  • Thinner form factor
  • Dedicated moonlight channel
  • More channels for a wider spectrum

Aqua Illumination Still Impressive Features:

  • The best value Aquarium lighting on the market
  • MyAIŪ app control
  • HD overdrive capability (route power to the spectrum you need)
  • AI customer support
  • The Prime 16HD can be mounted using AI`s existing Prime and HMS mounting accessories
  • Numerous mounting options. The bracket for the 32HD and 64HD on the flex mount will change in the Flex Arm packaging. HMS mounting solutions are identical. Prime mounting solutions are identical
