Description:

Discover the eco+ LED bar, specially designed for lighting aquariums and terrariums. The AFRICAN-SUN light color produces a cool, white-blue light with a natural character, making it ideal for showcasing Malawi and Tanganyika cichlids.

Thanks to the combination of two light colors, this LED bar provides a broad light spectrum that highlights the predominant colors of these fascinating fish. AFRICAN-SUN is particularly well-suited as the main lighting source for aquariums, emphasizing the natural beauty and behavior of cichlids.

For a comprehensive and engaging day simulation, we recommend complementing it with additional LED bars featuring more intense colors to enhance the dynamic lighting effects.

With an average color temperature of approximately 8,000 K, a very good color rendering index (CRI) of 86.3, and an efficiency of 90 lumens per watt despite the increased blue component, this eco+ LED bar offers an excellent balance of performance and aesthetics.

Whether it's 20cm or an impressive 140cm – choose from 7 available lengths the perfect fit for your habitat. Combine different light colors for breathtaking daytime simulations. The lighting needs vary based on the size, setup, vegetation, and occupants of the habitat. Discover the optimal light combination with the help of our photo comparison and further insights in our FAQ.

Features:

High-Power LEDs: Up to 33% brighter than standard models.
Unique ripple effect and play of light, creating a natural ambiance.
Dimmable: Manually or automatically.
Sleek Design: 18x12mm, available from 20-140cm.

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!
