Right on cue with the halt of domestic LED aquarium light manufacturing, the Honk Kong based Eco-Lamps is now getting some attention for it’s decent looking LED aquarium lights. The Eco-lamps line of LEDs for aquarium use seem to be a good balance of blue and white LEDs clocking in at fair prices. Save for the 12″ unit, all the larger models include 2 white LED strips and 1 blue LED strip. The line includes 10 different sizes and all models are available in a silver or black finish for use with either 110 or 220v. 12″ models sporting 25watts of LED power will set you back ~$125 and the largest 80″ unit with 225watts of LED goodness will set you back $2064. Smaller units will have side mounting hinge brackets and larger while larger units are designed to be suspended over the aquarium. Additional features of these lights are hard to glean from the website but this page at least demonstrates their capacity for independent blues and whites as well as a moonlight mode. Eco-lamps can be only be purchased direct on the Eco-sell website. I hope you are reading this Orbitec because this is what happens when American companies are forced out of the market by wasteful patent trolling. We can now probably expect a ton of LED light manufacturers to emerge from Asian manufacturers.

As a patent attorney, I’ve got to clear this up — if Eco-Lamps is selling in the U.S. they can be just as liable as any American company, regardless of where their product is made. A primary purpose of the patent system is promoting U.S. innovation and rewarding inventors so the U.S. stays at the forefront of technology — so creating laws that universally promoted foreign manufacture of products would be in clear conflict with the foundation of the patent system.
Great pricing on the smaller models (nice to see a 30″ option too), I’d be interested to see some information around the PAR levels.
I find their choice of a Sun Polyp to demonstrate the lights effectiveness disturbing!
I have also patent the LED for stool application, if anyone make the same I will sue the one using the same application.
Eco-lamps, nice products, can i get it in Italy ?
