New Self Repair LED Aquarium Lamps

Posted By : Guest

Over the past few years, light emitting diodes (LED) have rapidly been replacing fluorescent tubes in the aquarium market. LED lighting have the advantage of providing aquariums with perfect lighting conditions, whilst consuming far less energy than conventional light sources. In addition the lifespan of LED lamps is several times longer than fluorescent lamps. This is a huge saving because there is no need for frequent replacement.

However all LED aquarium lamps have the same problem that over time, some of the diodes will die. Aquael the leading manufacturer of LED lighting fixtures for aquariums, have developed a new and innovative self-repair technology system to provide an effective solution to this problem.

In Aquael’s SUNNY version of LED lamps, if a diode stops working, its functions are taken over by the adjacent diodes, which start emitting light with increased power. Thanks to this unique and innovation technology, even after the failure of individual LEDs, the lamp continues to operate properly with the light power and parameters remaining unchanged.

In the PLANT version of Aquael’s LED lamps, the self-repair system is based on the presence of additional LED diodes that are not operational in a new lamp. This is normal and by design. The additional LEDs are only activated if one of the primary diodes stops working. In this way, the lamp continues to operate properly, and the light power and parameters remain unchanged.

Thanks to this new self-repair system, the Aquael Leddy Slim and Retrofit LED lamps will last even longer, providing the ideal lighting conditions for your aquarium and for maintaining the growth of plants.

Aquael Leddy Slim lamps are designed for freshwater and marine open aquariums (without a lid). These unique lamps employ carefully selected LEDs which ensure proper lighting of the aquarium, provide excellent living conditions for its inhabitants, and create a unique visual effect. The lamps are made of corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean glass. Thanks to their futuristic flat design and fashionable black or white colour, the lamps fit perfectly with modern aquarium tanks and look great in any room interior. In addition, the lamps are highly versatile thanks to the use of sliding brackets allowing for them to be mounted on tanks of different lengths, including custom-sized tanks. Aquael offers a wide range of models for tanks from 20 to 120 cm in length.

The LEDDY SLIM lamps are available in four different versions: The SUNNY (colour temperature of 6500 K) and PLANT (8000 K) versions are designed for freshwater aquariums, including plant aquariums, whereas the MARINE (colour temperature of 10000 K) and ACTINIC (20000 K) versions are designed for marine aquariums. The line includes models designed for tanks from 20 to 120 cm in length. Thanks to the use of light-emitting diodes, these lamps do not require frequent replacement and consume half as much energy as regular fluorescent lamps.
