What's the difference between LED bars and LED spotlights for aquariums?

LED bars (eco+, PRO², aquaLUMix)

LED bars are unique for their:

• Uniform illumination across the entire length
• Sleek design with a small cross-section
• Various mounting options
• Integration into standard flat aquarium covers
• Complete dimmability and controllability
• Easy expansion with additional colors and bars

LED spotlights (FlexBeam, easyBEAM)

LED spotlights, on the other hand, offer:

• Top-down installation, suitable for open or glass-covered aquariums
• Easy retrofitting of existing HQL installations
• Limited light cone with focused illumination
• Pronounced halo effect on the floor
• Direct connection to 230V – not dimmable or controllable
• No additional LED power supply needed

LED hanging light (powerBEAM)

The LED hanging light is ideal for large aquariums, as it:

• Provides enormous light output with a small number of units
• Is fully dimmable and controllable (with minor compromises)
• Features integrated moonlight
• Boasts a modern industrial design
