Redesigning the plastics in the Prime and Hydra line-up has resulted in two major benefits: greater efficiency and better aesthetics. Efficiency improvements reduce the demands for active cooling resulting in longer component life, and by reducing the profile depth has enhanced the presence of the light over the aquarium.
Water resistance is a major benefit in aquarium lighting, and while the new Prime and Hydras are not waterproof, design improvements should make them more resilient to accidental splashing and environmental moisture.
Output in terms of PAR, color mixing and spread are all improved with the new fixtures.
The incorporation of more LEDS results in a more complete full spectrum and TIR lenses which shape the light to its most efficient and effective result in both more colour POP as well as a slightly wider output area. LED placement and lens geometry blend the light from the clusters so that colour separation is further reduced.
A dedicated moonlight LED and channel has been added in the new Prime 16HD, Prime Freshwater, Hydra 32HD and Hydra 64HD fixtures. This allows for independent moonlighting programmes that will deliver the desired aesthetic without needing to be a part of your primary schedule or risking over exposure for your livestock.
