spotBEAM LED light AFRICAN-SUN B-Grade

This item, offered as B-stock, is technically fully functional. It may be a display model or a returned item with minor cosmetic imperfections. It could also be a product that did not pass the final quality inspection.


Maximize the Color Vibrancy of Your Cichlid Aquarium or Desert Terrarium with AFRICAN-SUN!

Experience lighting on a whole new level with the spotBEAM LED Spotlight. Despite its compact size of just 10x12cm, it delivers a powerful 26 watts of illumination, making it ideal for targeted spot lighting to full illumination of aquariums and terrariums of all sizes.

At the heart of the spotBEAM is its innovative and unique 3-channel COB LED chip, specifically optimized for daylight simulation and light control. It guarantees an unparalleled lighting experience. The AFRICAN-SUN variant has been specifically designed to accentuate the brilliant colors found in cichlid aquariums or desert terrariums. Our high-performance lighting system provides:

  • Channel 1: Intense white light (8,000K) for optimal primary illumination.
  • Channel 2: A deep blue moonlight (Blue-White Mix: 465nm/12,000K 2:1), evoking the mystical ambience in your aquarium or terrarium at night.
  • Channel 3: A warm, red light (2700K/630nm 2:1), perfect for simulating natural sunrise and sunset cycles.

Transform your biotope into a colorful wonderland and offer your inhabitants lighting that's closest to their natural environment. To tap into the full potential of the spotBEAM, we recommend our SunRiser light controllers, such as the SunRiser 6 or SunRiser 10. Customize the brightness of each channel for realistic day/night simulations and create the perfect lighting mood for your aquarium or terrarium.

Variability in Mounting

The spotBEAM can either be attached to the edge with a separately available gooseneck or seamlessly combined with existing mounting solutions, such as covers, lamp housings, adapter profiles, and U-profiles. The thoughtful design also allows for the mounting of multiple spotBEAMs in series. The intelligently placed cable cutouts ensure a tidy appearance.

 

Scope of delivery

  • spotBEAM LED spotlight, in light color and housing color according to selection
  • cable length 250cm
  • Glass lens with 90° beam angle included, other lenses (40°, 60°, 120°) available separately.

A power supply and light control must be ordered separately according to the number and scope of lighting.

 

Attention! Especially when operating all 3 channels at full power at the same time, there will be an increased surface temperature of the cooling or lamp body. Caution when touching! Before cleaning and maintenance work, switch off the unit and disconnect it from the power supply. Never cover the lamp with objects and make sure that there is always sufficient heat exchange.

Attention! This is a waterproof LED spot (IP67), which can also be used inside the aquarium cover in freshwater areas. Permanent wetness as well as lime and dirt deposits can negatively influence the light quality, performance and lifetime of the LED. Furthermore, the LED cools passively via the aluminum heat sink or via the ambient air, there must be sufficient air circulation, openings for cables and hoses in the cover are usually already sufficient for this. For further information see FAQ. Attention when used in seawater, see FAQ!
