Dive into a new lighting world with aquaLUMixAFRICAN-SUN: The tailor-made lighting solution for cichlid aquariums and desert terrariums.
Drawing upon decades of expertise, the AFRICAN-SUN was specifically designed for aquariums featuring Malawis or Tanganjikas. It provides a full-spectrum illumination, complemented by our exclusive heat recovery system. For larger setups, two of these LED bars can seamlessly be combined.
Experience versatile lighting with four individually controllable light channels. From general daylight to special effects like moonlight and solar cycles - the possibilities are endless. The AFRICAN-SUN variant stands out with an enhanced blue daylight component, complemented by a color-enhancing light composition.
Channel 1: SKY: Slightly bluish pure daylight. Channel 2: Deep blue tone for striking depth perception. Channel 3: Intense white-blue mix, perfect for moonlight and storm effects. Channel 4: A color mix of red-orange-GROW, igniting vibrant colors and ideal for sunrise and sunset simulations.
Each aquaLUMix comes with a pre-assembled mount, a splash guard, and an optionally usable water cooling. Suitable power supply as well as a light control or splitter must be purchased separately depending on the selection. More details about the light and color configuration can be found in the technical data at the end of this page.
Light Performance
Discover the superior quality of the aquaLUMix, equipped with our proven high-power LEDs of the latest generation. These not only promise reliable function but also impressive longevity. With our many years of experience from the module system of the eco+ and PRO² LED bars, we have developed a lamp that is equipped with up to 498 individual LEDs and delivers significantly more light than many other aquarium lights on the market.
HEATING WITH LIGHT – Each aquaLUMix 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.
Dimming and Day Simulation
With the aquaLUMix, you get a fully dimmable lamp, equipped with 4 separately controllable channels for realistic lighting and day simulation. This also includes effect colors for simulating moonlight and sunrise and sunset. We recommend our light controls like SIMU-LUX, SunRiser 6, or SunRiser 8 for an optimal experience. This way, the brightness of each individual channel and the resulting color mix of the entire lamp can be individually adjusted. There are virtually endless possibilities. The continuous dimming curve, whether through the SunRiser light control or the manual 6-channel dimmer DIMIX6, is always flicker-free and smooth.
Light Distribution
The CleanCover of the aquaLUMix has been optically optimized and extends the beam angle of the lamp to up to 160°. Even large aquariums are easily illuminated, and the ring effect on the aquarium floor creates an impressive play of light – exactly what you expect from premium lighting.
Quality
The aquaLUMix stands for the highest quality. Its solid aluminum lamp body not only testifies to high-quality processing but also real value. All components, from the anodized aluminum parts to the stainless V4A steel mounts, have been manufactured with the utmost precision. Moreover, the lamp is protected against water by ClearSealing UV and temperature stability, and the included CleanCover protects against dirt and is easy to clean.
Attachment / Installation
The aquaLUMix offers numerous attachment options. It comes with an adjustable bracket and can be mounted as a frame-mounted lamp or suspended lamp depending on the variant. Additionally, it is compatible with our aquarium covers and lamp housings, as well as adapter profiles, giving you the freedom to install it exactly according to your wishes.

Absolut beste Lichtleiste
Habe mein Becken mit der African sun 54cm ausgerüstet und ich bin begeistert. Habe zuerst mit den eco+ Beleuchtet war schon top, jetzt jedoch einfach WAU- ein Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht, habe meine Mbunas noch nie so farbenprächtig gesehen. Kleiner Minuspunkt jedoch ,das Flachbandkabel ist unhandlich und sperrig. Rundkabel wäre ev. besser zu handhaben, trotzdem eine geniale und sehr hochwertig gemachte Leiste die jeden Cent wert ist. Lichteinstellungen mit sunriser8 läuft bei mir um die 50-55 % GENIAL - für jeden Aquarianer nur zu empfehlen.

hervorragende Beleuchtung für Malawibecken.
ich habe zwei AFRICAN-SUN über ein zwei Meter Malawibecken. Die Beleuchtung ist optimal auf meine Barsche abgestimmt, die einzelnen Farben der Fische kommen voll zur Wirkung. Das Flachbandkabel ist allerdings ein bisschen sperrig zu handhaben, dort ist vielleicht ein flexibles Rundkabel besser angebracht. Ich kann diese Beleuchtung nur weiterempfehlen.

Diese Beleuchtung ist bisher die Beste die ich hatte.
Sehr gut verarbeitete Leuchte. Die Lichtintensität und die Lichtfarben sind super. Den Preis finde ich in Ordnung.
