If there's no need for regular access to the SunRiser 8, a longer LAN cable can be used as needed.

Why SunRiser 8?

The SunRiser 8 is more than just a light controller; it's the centerpiece of your aquarium. With its intelligent technology, it offers numerous advantages:

• Stress reduction for your fish: Sudden light changes can stress your fish. With the SunRiser 8, these sudden changes are eliminated, keeping your fish more relaxed and healthier.
• Natural experience: Create sunrises and sunsets that not only provide your fish but also you with a natural feeling. This enhances well-being and offers impressive optics.
• Individualized control: Whether it's moonlight, stormy mood, or a cloudy day - with the SunRiser 8, you can program and simulate various scenarios.
• Energy efficiency: Save electricity and extend the lifespan of your LEDs. Slight dimming can significantly reduce energy consumption without noticeably decreasing brightness.

Supported by a range of light colors, such as RED (dawn) or ROYAL BLUE (moonlight), and compatible with our aquaLUMix, powerBEAM, and spotBEAM series, the SunRiser 8 creates a unique and natural lighting environment for your aquarium.

Connecting third-party products

The SunRiser is also compatible with LED lighting from other manufacturers. This includes all lamps that operate with a voltage of 12-24VDC and are basically dimmable. No mixed operation! A compatible power supply for lighting is a fundamental prerequisite. See the adapter for connecting third-party products.

Technical data:

• Solid aluminium housing with compact dimensions of only 124x119x26mm
• Input voltage: DC12V-24V 
• Total power max. 20A 240W/12V 480W/24V
  per channel max. 5A 60W/12V 120W/24V

Scope of supply:

• SunRiser 8
• 8 connection plugs with screw terminals
• Connection / adapter cable with yellow plug for power supply
  (If no power supply is ordered directly)
• Network cable
• Operating instructions (national language FR, NL, IT, DE)

Necessary equipment

To operate the complete lighting system requires one LED mains adapter, which you can find in our webshop.

A double assignment per channel is possible under consideration of the maximum connection power in total and per channel.
Not compatible with an LED splitter. The LED strips are connected directly to the controller!
The necessary plugs with screw terminal are already included in the scope of delivery.
