Leaders in Aquarium & Specialist Lighting for Over 30 Years
The UVB and UVA lights are used to recreate the critical bands of sunlight in the captive reptiles to avoid metabolic disorders and open the natural behaviors. The species that lived in the desert such as leopard geckos or bearded
Spectrum Matching for Species Origins In tropical parrots, such as macaws, 5000-6500K full-spectrum lights that simulate equatorial daylight are required, to sustain preening and feed iridescence of the feathers. African savanna finches are able to live in temperatures below 5500K
Spectrum Control Curbs Algae Overgrowth Phytoplankton is controlled by specific wavelengths. The blue LEDs (450-470nm) replicate shallow sunlight, which among others encourages the beneficial diatoms instead of the green algae blooms. The night lights (620nm) and the red-shifted lights will
LED Dominance Crushes Legacy Bulbs LEDs reduce power usage 70-80 percent compared to T5 fluorescents or metal halides. A 50 gallon reef tank that is connected to 120W T5s and then reduces to 40W AI Prime and can maintain 150
Chromatophore Activation Through Spectrum Peaks The correct wavelengths are used to light the pigment cells. The marine clownfish iridophores are dilated by actinics (420-480nm blues) which flash electric oranges and blacks when patrolling their territory. Discs neon blues below 6500K
Wrong Spectrum Selection Fades Vitality Narrow bulbs cause starvation of important processes. New blue tanks are used to stop the chlorophyll of the plants only, which crashes the oxygen of the tetra making it flare its gills. Marine environments devoid
