eco+ LED bar GROWx5

eco+ big output, small price!

The eco+ model impresses with an outstanding price-performance ratio and a wide diversity of variants.

DESCRIPTION

A unique composition of light consisting of 5 different wavelengths promotes luxuriant plant growth and increases colourfulness. This is due in principle to creating light with balanced proportions of blue and red and extending this with three further specially selected colour bands: green, orange and ultra-red.
GROWx5 is intended to be used as an optional light in combination with other "white" light colours, because this light colour alone has a definite lilac/violet appearance. Thus GROWx5 is comparable with the well-known and loved GROLUX fluorescent tube lighting.

Suitable for all aquariums! Which and how many LED bars you need in the end depends on the tank size, aquarium type, features, equipment and fish population, see FAQ. Our Light comparison page shows you the possibilities for combination.

CHARACTERISTICS (For detailed information see our main page for eco+ or our FAQ)

• High-power LEDs manufactured under the brand name LG, 33% brighter than standard versions
• The superior colour rendering ensures your underwater world is vivid and full of colour. The aquarium will light up more clearly and brilliantly than one with fluorescent tubes.
• Lifelike shimmering effect on the bottom; the interaction of light and waves, just as in nature.
• Dimmable: manual or by automatic control
• Finely proportioned design 18x12mm, 20-140cm long
• Extensive configuration options thanks to 7 different lengths
• Passive cooling body manufactured out of solid, high-grade aluminium

?TIP

You can use a dimmer to slightly throttle the output, without the lighting in the aquarium looking noticeably darker. This will reduce electricity consumption and have a positive effect on the service life of LED bars. A similar result can also be achieved with an automatic light control or daylight simulation system.

KEY INFORMATION GROWx5

INSTALLATION

You have various options for installing LED bars:

• To install LED bar(s) in existing T5 or T8 waterproof tube sockets, we offer special holders.
• Silicone feet. They allow you to install LED bars very simply, e.g. on the transverse or longitudinal struts or even on the cover plate.
• Our lamp housing is manufactured in aluminium to a modern-looking design and has a very slender cross section. It is particularly suitable for open or glass/acrylic-covered aquariums and can be individually configured with our LED bars. The free choice of fastenings means it can be flexibly used as a side-mounted lamp, suspended lamp or as a frame-mounted lamp as well as inside the aquarium cover.
• With the LED adapter profile, JUWEL and EHEIM aquariums can be upgraded very quickly to a modern LED lighting system. The existing conventional T5 or T8 batten fittings can be replaced 1 for 1 and the cover plates retained.
• Should you decide not to choose any of the above fastenings, then mounting brackets (eco+) or screws (PRO²) are included with the respective products and can be used to install the LED bars directly.
• Among our "individual and replacement parts" you can find everything you need for a customised installation.

The many customer photographs on our "example installations" page will show you further possibilities and suggestions for your aquarium.

Caution! This product is a waterproof LED bar (IP67), which can also be used inside the aquarium cover to a freshwater tank. The permanent presence of moisture, the build up of dirt or lime deposits can adversely affect the light quality, output and service life of the LED bars. Therefore we recommend that our CleanCovers are used within the aquarium cover. LED bars cool passively by using the surrounding air. Therefore, there must be an adequate circulation of air. As a rule, the openings for cables and hoses in the cover are adequate for this purpose. Further information. Cautionary advice if the product is used in a seawater environment!
