Are the LEDs also suitable for seawater?

Yes, of course, but the following must be taken into account.
Compared to fresh water, seawater is an extremely aggressive medium and only very few materials can withstand direct and permanent contact. In order not to unnecessarily shorten the service life of the LED bars, appropriate precautions should be taken when using them in seawater. In addition to the CleanCoverns, an additional glass or acrylic pane on the aquarium is highly recommended to keep seawater away from the LED bars.

Depending on the size of the aquarium, our first recommendation is always aquaLUMix, spotBEAM or powerBEAM SEAWATER. With this lighting, you get an ideally balanced spectrum on the one hand and a lot of power on the other. To achieve an even more dominant blue peak in the spectrum or even in the UV range, these lights can be wonderfully combined with the eco+ ROYAL BLUE or the PRO² with UV.

To achieve the same performance values with only the individual eco+ or PRO² LED bars, a large number of units would be necessary, which complicates the entire handling up to the control unit.

The following applies to the eco+ and PRO² LED bars: The light colours REEF (11,000K) and CORAL (50% white, 33% blue, 17% red) together with the light colours POLAR (7,500K), MARINE (13,000K) and ROYAL BLUE (460nm) form a wide range for the best possible lighting of marine aquariums. Depending on the requirements of the stock, an individual light mixture can be selected in this way. You would have to determine the final number yourself; depending on the requirements of the stock, a corresponding number of LED bars are used. As a rough guide, at least 50% of the conventional light output should be selected in LED. So, for example, if you used to use 100W tube lighting, you should now use at least 50W LED lighting.

If the aquaLUMix or PRO² LED bars are chosen and the heat recovery function is to be used, we strongly recommend using the TITAN extension.
