Aqua Illumination-LED Aquarium Lighting for Reefs and Saltwater Aquiarums
Posted March 21st, 2007 by Ryan
There is a new LED lighting company for us Reefers on the block. Aqua Illumination has launched a full line of LED lighting. This thing is pretty stinkin’ cool. It allows you to add a PH ($78), ORP ($48) and Temp ($69) probe directly into your lighting unit so you can read out your information on the groovy LED display. But that isn’t all, there units have Bluetooth ($100) as an option so you can connect your lighting unit to the world via the internet. With the blurb from the company like this: “The combination of high power LEDs and efficient power supplies allows the Aqua Illumination to use less than 1 kilowatt hour per day! The comparatively* low heat dissipation allows chillers to be turned down and in most cases removed from the system.” Throw out our chiller you say? Wow, we shall have to see about that. These units are still in production and you can’t actually order them yet…sadly.
Pretty dang cool concept

We are using the highest output, single-die white LED for the market combined with a high output blue LED to produce an unbeatable combination. We are significantly more powerful than the Luxeon III LED combination (as used in the Solaris G) as well as the Luxeon K2 combination (based on released data, as used in the Solaris H/I). Reef Geek offers the Aqua Illuminations system direct on their website. This thing is a beast as we reported earlier. [...]
