Ver: 30/13-INT LED Lighting VS Fluorescent Lighting LED Lighting (Light Emitting Diodes) es) ■ Reliable and Durable ■ ■ Delivers the higher light levels required by reef and planted nted aquariums ■ Consumes less energy ■ Emits less heat than conventional lighting Has a longer life span (up p to 50,000 hours - @ 10 hours urs per day = 13.5 years) ■ Fluorescent Lighting ting g ■ Individual lighting spectrums rums ■ Multiple bulbs, in variouss lighting spectrums, needed ded to produce the same lighting conditions as one ne ■ Produces a lot of heat whi which hiich c can affect water temperature rature ■ Needs to be replaced on n an annual basis to ensure re maximum effectiveness Why Use LED Aquarium Lighting? Quality, intense, full-spectrum lighting is essential for marine aquariums, which are intended for the keeping of photosynthetic corals and invertebrates. LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting is quickly becoming the lighting of choice for most aquarium hobbyists. Other forms of aquarium lighting, such compared to LEDs. Fluorescent tubes use wide-based wavelengths to produce illumination based on a single individual lighting spectrum. This means that multiple needed to produce the same lighting conditions that Fluorescents also produce a lot of heat which can affect the water temperature of the aquarium. LEDs on the other hand, produce illumination using very narrow-based color spectrum wavelengths. By combining these individual, multi-coloured LED spectrum lighting coverage is achieved. LEDs light source, delivering the higher light levels often required by reef aquariums. In addition, LEDs consume less energy and emit less heat than conventional lighting and in general have a much longer life span. What is Light? portion of the electromagnetic spectrum; all electromagnetic wavelengths can be referred to as light. The length of these wavelengths are expressed in nanometers (nm). Every wavelength is represented by a different color. There are many wavelengths beyond visible light, some of them shorter and some of them longer; all together they compose the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is a very complex subject and in regards to aquarium keeping it is the visible portion that is of importance. WAVELENGTH (NM) Visible Light Visible light serves two main functions: it allows us photosynthetic corals, it directly governs photosynthesis; without light there is no photosynthesis. The visible light spectrum ranges from 390 to 700 nm. The light seen by the eye and the color of it depends on the strength of each wavelength. Plants, corals and other photosynthetic invertebrates, are capable of using many wavelengths for photosynthesis. Marine reef aquariums have a strong requirement for light emitted between the wavelengths of 420 and 460 nm, and in general it is the blue spectrum that plays an important role for proper function. bulb packaging can help you gain some perspective on lighting characteristics that may meet your aquarium’s lighting needs. Spectrum Graphs: On most aquarium bulb packaging a spectrum graph will be present. The spectrum graph provides an indication of the relative power of the various wavelengths of light produced by the bulb. CRI: This abbreviation stands for color rendering index and an object as compared to natural sunlight Color Temperature: Color temperature of a light source is usually expressed in degrees Kelvin, as denoted by the “K” that follows a number. This temperature relates to the color of a black body object heated to that temperature. Lux: A unit of illumination which indicates the amount of light falling on a given area. Lumens: A unit of measurement that delivers the amount of brightness originating from a light source. Marine & Reef Performance LED Strip Light The Fluval Sea Marine & Reef Performance LED Strip Light, composed of 6 unique LED band widths, ensures essential spectral strengths in the right correct color combinations to provide full spectrum coverage required for strong coral growth and coloration.
