Which LEDs does LEDaquaristik use?
We have complete confidence in LED bars made by brand-name manufacturers such as LG. We use an extremely efficient 5630 SMD LED with an excellent colour rendering index of up to 90 Ra (CRI)! These LEDs are perfect for use in aquariums, which demand very good colour rendering.
Why 5630/573 SMD LEDs?
- High brightness combined with low electricity consumption
- Very good colour rendering
- Long service life
- Very good price/performance ratio
Here is an overview of the SMD LEDs available on the market and their characteristics:

SMD stands for Surface-Mounted Device: In contrast to other LEDs, SMD LEDs are not connected by wires but are soldered directly onto the printed circuit board.
Advantages:
- Very low heat emissions
- Low voltage and current requirements
- Compact size
- More tolerant of mechanical vibration loads
- Low terminal resistance and impedance
- Low weight due to the absence of connecting wires
