spotBEAM FRESHWATER: Versatile 3-Channel Full-Spectrum Lighting for Freshwater Aquariums

Experience aquarium lighting on a new level with the spotBEAM LED spotlight. Despite its compact dimensions of only 10 × 12 cm, it delivers 26 watts of powerful LED lighting. Depending on the number of spotlights, their positioning and the selected lens, the spotBEAM is suitable for focused accent lighting as well as the even illumination of aquariums of different sizes.

At the heart of the spotBEAM is its innovative and unique 3-channel COB LED chip. The three independently controllable lighting channels allow the spectrum to be adjusted by an optional controller to suit your aquarium and personal preferences – from a pleasantly warm, tropical ambience to crisp and brilliant daylight. When combined with a suitable lighting controller, natural daily lighting cycles with sunrise, daylight, sunset and moonlight can also be created.

The FRESHWATER version has been specially developed for freshwater aquariums. Its balanced full spectrum provides natural and brilliant colour rendering, supports healthy plant growth and brings out the best in fish, plants and aquarium décor. This makes the spotBEAM FRESHWATER equally suitable for community aquariums, planted tanks, biotope aquariums and aquascapes.

• Channel 1: Bright white daylight at 6,000 K for clear and powerful primary illumination.
• Channel 2: Intense blue-white light combining 465 nm and 12,000 K in a 2:1 ratio for atmospheric evening phases and an impressive moonlight simulation.
• Channel 3: Warm light combining 2,700 K and 630 nm red light in a 2:1 ratio for sunrise, sunset and a pleasantly tropical ambience.

Whether you prefer crisp daylight or a warm tropical atmosphere, the independent adjustment of the three channels allows the appearance of the aquarium to be adapted to its livestock, layout and desired mood. To make full use of the spotBEAM's capabilities, we recommend one of our SunRiser lighting controllers, such as the SunRiser 6 or SunRiser 10. These controllers allow the brightness of each channel to be adjusted separately, enabling realistic day-night simulations and individual lighting schedules for your aquarium.

Flexible mounting options

The spotBEAM can be flexibly attached to the aquarium rim using a separately available gooseneck mount. Alternatively, it can be combined with existing or separately available mounting solutions such as aquarium covers, lamp housings, adapter profiles and U-profiles. The carefully designed housing also allows several spotBEAM LED spotlights to be installed next to each other. Conveniently positioned cable recesses ensure clean and tidy cable routing.

Scope of delivery

• spotBEAM LED spotlight in the selected lighting version and housing colour
• Connection cable, approximately 250 cm long
• Glass lens with a 90° beam angle; additional lenses with 40°, 60° or 120° beam angles are available separately

A power supply and lighting controller must be ordered separately depending on the number and configuration of the selected lighting components.

Warning! Operating all three channels simultaneously at full power may result in an increased surface temperature of the heat sink and lamp housing. Take care when touching the unit. Before carrying out cleaning or maintenance work, switch off the device and disconnect it from the power supply. Never cover the light with objects and always ensure sufficient heat dissipation.

*The product was measured in accordance with the supplied configuration in a dry environment at 100% output. The use of dimmers, different power supplies, focusing lenses, protective covers or reflectors may result in different values. Minor batch-related deviations from the tested sample are also possible. PPFD: photosynthetic photon flux density. PAR: photosynthetically active radiation. PPE: photosynthetic photon flux per watt of electrical power.

Warning! This is a waterproof LED spotlight rated to IP67 and may also be used inside a freshwater aquarium cover. Permanent moisture as well as limescale and dirt deposits may negatively affect the light quality, performance and service life of the LED. The unit is passively cooled through the aluminium heat sink and the surrounding air. Sufficient air circulation must therefore be ensured. Existing openings for cables and hoses in the aquarium cover are generally sufficient for this purpose. Further information is available in our FAQ. When using the product in a marine aquarium environment, please observe the corresponding information in the FAQ.
