What are the benefits, advantages and special features of LED water cooling?

LED water cooling offers several benefits. Firstly, it ensures optimal cooling for the LED bars and effectively uses their waste heat to warm the aquarium. LEDs, whether used at home or in aquaristics, lose luminosity over time. The indicated LED lifespan, such as 40,000 hours, means that the LED will only have 50% of its original brightness after this period. Proper cooling can significantly mitigate this decline in performance.

Although the temperature-optimized aluminum profile already allows for passive cooling, active water cooling is often superior. Water cooling channels the heat energy, which is wasted in traditional LED bars, into the aquarium water, thereby reducing the load on the aquarium heater. This makes LED water cooling with heat recovery a significant advantage for aquarists.

The result provides an indication of how much the heat recovery system contribute to heating your aquarium water (= relieving the load on the aquarium heating = saving energy). Please note that the calculation does not take into account any other sources of heat, such as pumps or heating elements.

When using with sea water or deviant fresh water (eg very low PH), we recommend using the TITAN upgrade.

Advantages:

Optimal Temperature Control: The LEDs operate within the optimal temperature range to maximize luminous duration and performance.

Heat Recovery: The LED water cooling utilizes the waste heat from the LEDs to supply warm water to the aquarium.

Energy Efficiency: The power consumption of the aquarium heater is significantly reduced. LED bars with heat recovery pay off much faster.

Efficient Water Cooling: Two integrated XL channels for water cooling provide high flow rates, excellent cooling properties, and maximum efficiency. The system is virtually maintenance-free.

Flexibility: Connect the water cooling of several PRO² LED bars together.

Noiseless Operation: Our system offers noiseless operation for an undisturbed aquarium experience.

Special Features:

Integrated Water Cooling: Our aluminum profile allows unhindered heat exchange between LED and cooling water, while competitors have lower efficiency.

High-quality Construction: The XL channels carry 56% more water for superior cooling properties. Easy accessibility simplifies cleaning. Silicone hose and 180° bend are made of high-quality material for durability and shape stability.
