Reef-Beam UK display tank as featured in Practical fish keeping magazine Sept 2010.
Editors remarks quoted from PFK magazine "This is the first large reef tank we have visited solely lit by LED and it is clearly a success. It is a real spectacle and the combination of bright LPS corals and Reef-Beam lighting make the tank look incredibly colourful. In fact we have not seen better livestock colouration anywhere else-and the damsel fish was an amazing electric blue."
Reef-Beam UK supply professional quality LED lighting for use with both Marine and Tropical Aquaria.
Reef-Beam LED lights have now been on test since early May 2009. Our test’s have proven that the lights produce instant results in enhancing fish colouration and we have had astounding results in both growth and colouration in SPS LPS and Soft corals. Extensive testing has been carried out by Reef-Beam UK on systems varying in size and design as well as commercially by Dream-reef in their coral housing facility.
Another major advantage of the Reef-Beam range is running costs.
LED lighting is less expensive to run than Metal Halide and with an expected life span of over 50,000 hours there is no need to frequently replace expensive bulbs or tubes. Another great feature is that the intensity of light generated creates a natural shimmer as seen on coral reefs and river beds. Get the colour, growth and the shimmer with Reef-Beam LED Lighting.
Reef-Beam LED lighting is configured using blue and white LED’s.
White LED: 14000K. Blue: 460nm.
The spectrum produced has proven ideal for colour enhancement in fish and coral as well as producing spectacular results in coral growth. In our tests the bluer whiter light produced also slowed down the growth of nuisance algae when compared to that of some other lighting types available.
Each unit is fitted with three cooling fans. This has two advantages, firstly it keeps the LED’s at the optimal operating temperature so that there is no shift in colour spectrum and secondly any heat produced which is minimal is dispersed away from the water column, this system also keeps aquaria temperature far more manageable and stable for your inhabitants and eliminates the need for expensive cooling systems.
Our 120 watt model RB120 houses 119 LED’s over a rectangle area 0f 30cm x 12cm, Using this method produces intense light over a large area, this coupled with a 120 degree wide beam illuminates larger areas of aquaria than bulb methods eliminating dark spots and saturating the aquarium in brilliant light.
High power LED’s allow deeper penetration of the water column giving the aquarist greater scope for coral positioning, aquarium layout and display.
