PRO² LED bar DAY 5500K

Next Generation of Lighting with Heat Recovery

PRO² LED Bars: The Ultimate Illumination for Your Aquarium or Terrarium. Outperforming its eco+ counterpart, the PRO² LED bar boasts a double-row of LEDs, ensuring significantly amplified light output per unit.

With a color temperature of 5500 Kelvin, our DAY light color produces a pleasant, pure white light – authentic and close to nature, akin to a sunlit day under a cloudless sky. And the best part? Depending on your needs, you can deploy multiple LED bars, whether of the same or different light colors. For unparalleled lighting effects, we recommend combining different light colors to craft breathtaking daylight simulations.

The optimal number and combinations of LED bars hinge on specific factors like size, decor, vegetation, and the inhabitants of your habitat. For more detailed information and inspiring combination ideas, please visit our FAQ or make use of our handy light comparison tool, showcasing various color combinations side by side.

Features:

• Powerful and Brilliant: High-Power LEDs emit up to 33% more brightness than standard ones, creating a natural shimmer effect on the aquarium floor.
• Flexible Dimming: Manual or automatic brightness control for captivating day simulations.
• Sleek and Versatile: Compact profile of 32x18mm; available in 6 lengths ranging from 47-135 cm and 11 color variations.
• Convincing Quality: Solid aluminum single-piece passive heat sink for optimal heat dissipation and durability.

HEATING WITH LIGHT – Each PRO² LED strip can optionally be used with the innovative heat recovery system, although this is not mandatory. The temperature-optimized aluminum profile also ensures effective passive cooling without this technology. However, with active water cooling, not only is optimal cooling of the LEDs achieved, but the waste heat is also efficiently used to additionally heat the aquarium through heat recovery. This dual function is unique in the industry. For more details and a practical calculator for energy saving, please visit our website.

Tip: Using a dimmer allows gentle regulation of brightness without visible loss in luminosity. This reduces energy consumption and increases the lifespan – effects that can also be achieved through automatic light control or day simulation.

Caution! This product is a waterproof LED bar (IP67), which can also be used inside the aquarium cover to a freshwater tank. The permanent presence of moisture, the build up of dirt or lime deposits can adversely affect the light quality, output and service life of the LED bars. Therefore we recommend that our CleanCovers are used within the aquarium cover. LED bars cool passively by using the surrounding air. Therefore, there must be an adequate circulation of air. As a rule, the openings for cables and hoses in the cover are adequate for this purpose. Further information. Cautionary advice if the product is used in a seawater environment, see FAQ!

When using watter cooling with sea water or deviant fresh water (eg very low PH), we recommend using the TITAN upgrade.
