Red Sea Releases Three New G2 (Gen2) ReefLED Fixtures

Red Sea has unveiled its second-generation ReefLED lights, introducing three advanced models: the ReefLED 60, ReefLED 115, and ReefLED 170. These Gen 2 ReefLED lights are meticulously engineered to enhance coral growth and coloration, providing aquarists with a more versatile and efficient lighting solution for their reef aquariums.

Enhanced Spectrum and Intensity

Building upon 35 years of research into coral photobiology, the Gen 2 ReefLED series offers a refined spectrum and increased intensity. Each model features a compact LED array that delivers a customizable color temperature ranging from 8,000K Reef-White to 23,000K REEF-SPEC Blue. This flexibility allows aquarists to tailor the lighting to their specific coral species, ensuring optimal conditions for both growth and vibrant coloration. The enhanced blue spectrum, enriched with violet and ultraviolet wavelengths, accentuates coral fluorescence, making colors more vivid and dynamic. 

Uniform Light Distribution

A key feature of the Gen 2 ReefLED lights is their ability to provide homogenous light spread throughout the aquarium. The innovative hollow optical-glass lenses are designed to eliminate hotspots and areas with insufficient light, ensuring consistent PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) values across the tank. This uniformity is crucial for maintaining healthy coral growth and preventing stress caused by uneven lighting. 

Smart Control with ReefBeat App

Integration with Red Sea's ReefBeat app offers users comprehensive control over their aquarium lighting. The built-in Wi-Fi in each ReefLED unit allows for seamless connectivity, enabling features such as:

Customizable Lighting Programs: Create and schedule personalized lighting profiles to mimic natural day-night cycles.
Acclimation Mode: Gradually adjust light intensity for new coral introductions, reducing the risk of light shock.
Lunar Cycle Simulation: Utilize the dedicated 3W moonlight channel to replicate natural lunar phases, promoting natural behaviors in nocturnal species.
Dynamic Effects: Incorporate random cloud cover and sunrise/sunset transitions to emulate natural environmental changes.
The app also monitors the system and provides real-time notifications, ensuring that users are promptly informed of any issues.
