While the star fire fixture from Fauna Marin has been getting mixed reviews, we have pictures of the device of it in action on top of a impressive tank. Most users love the light, however the biggest complaints that we are seeing is the price, no doubt as there is a premium involved when products are imported from the mother country of Germany. The Fauna Marin fixture has a LED Shimmer (flickering) effect or Moonlight ( controlled over internal Ballast and external control Box) and offers Single high end reflectors for deep light 98 % reflection. German made high end electronic Ballast with Cut off technology for longer life time and higher light output including electronic controllable active cooling for fans and tube. A splash water protection shield. A “comfortable” Y wire stainless steel hanging kit. Full powdercoated heavy aluminum body which allows only one powercord 3 meters long to snake from the unit. Don’t think Fauna Marin didn’t put dimmable options, they did, but only on the dimmable 10tube model. A 39w 8 tube unit will set you back $1,499, while the 54w 10 tube unit will be $1,799. The 80w 8 tube will set you back a cool $2,099. The high end 54w 10 tube GHL plug and play ready which is $2,099 and the only dimmable unit.

Is there a 10 x 80 watt unit??
Yes there is.
I would like to see the mixed reviews as we have only seen great reviews so far, not one complaint about build quality, or design or lighting effect.
Incorrect about dimming
Dimming is available on all light tube specs numbers, the lamps are made to order, custom built to the exact specs a client may require.
Just tell us what you require and Fauna WILL build it.
