New LED lighting for aquariums hit the market

Finally Aquarium LED lighting in Canada.


Like the tittle says, these new LED lightings hit market, the Sunbrite f-series are the next big thing to hit Canada. The first WFI capable reef aquarium LED's.  You have full control via an iphone/ipad/idevices WiFi application, this includes six channel independent dimming, timers and storm.


You program it and the fixture will run that way until you change the program. The idevice app is the only one available for now. For those who do not use I-devices, the lights come with built in six channel manual dimming knobs. So the light is controllable without the app but you can not access the storm mode. You can control each one manually with the built in knobs. With the knobs you can only adjust the color intensity and use the preset timer. The preset timer will basically be a sunrise and sunset going through the 8hours cycle.


With the APP.

- There are one line settings for each color, you can adjust each color independently.
- You can set/program the storm setting anytime you like.
- Sunrise/Sundown Example: 9AM-11AM you want 50% of light, and 11AM-5PM you set at 100%. The light will slowly go from 50% to 100% gradually and not just a jump from 50% to 100% all over sudden.

Once you program it with Iphone, the program remains until you want to make changes, the app will run on your iphone/ipad/ipod time.


Example fixture, the 48” comes with 20 5W XPE, 44 3W XPE, 4 3W orsam red and 8 1W UV’s. That is a LOT of light for $1000.


Basically its aquarium LED lighting done with style.
