Oceans by Design Helios 180w aquarium led light fixture
Measuring a slim 18 x 11 inches, this fixture packs a punch. Using the latest in technology we have design the 180w fixture with 6 clusters of twelve high powered Bridgelux led's, 72 3 watt chips in total, that can easily light a two foot square area providing more than enough par to grow any type of coral throughout the aquarium depths. The fixture has two channels with Rheostat dimming controls allowing you to dial in the color you like without sacrificing the light intensity the corals require. The white channel contains a mixture of white, blue, royal blue, violet and cyan colored led's. This provides the needed spectrum to excite as many pigments in the coral as possible. The blue channel contains blue, royal blue, violet, and cyan led's. This furthers the light intensity. The blue channel controls the 4 outer clusters, so that you can simulate a dawn and dusk effects and the white channel brings in the balance of the light for the balance of the day. With this layout we can see no separation of light beams, just a full balanced color over your tank. The Helios 180w comes with 2 Rheostat control dimmers, full wide angle optics, power cords(with the ability to daisy chain if you are using more than one) a hanging kit and a one year warranty. This fixture can be used with both the Apex and Adreno style controllers. For an additional fee Oceans by Design will customize the unit by installing a Typhon controller, sketch, and a slick acrylic box.At $369.99 +tx this is a powerful yet affordable aquarium light fixture.
