Frequently asked questions
There are several options available for mounting LED bars:
- Use our aquarium cover and insert the LED bars into the center profile.
- Special brackets allow for the mounting of LED bar(s) in existing T5 or T8 damp-proof housings.
- Silicone stands enable simple placement of the LED bar on cross or longitudinal braces or cover plates.
- Our aluminium lamp housing in modern design is suitable for open or glass/acrylic-covered aquariums, and can be individually equipped with our LED bars.
- With the LED adapter profile, JUWEL and EHEIM aquariums can be quickly upgraded to modern LED lighting.
- The U-profile serves as a longitudinal or cross-support for LED bars, enabling easy and flexible mounting of the lighting.
- If you do not select any of the above brackets, 2 screws 2.9x6.5mm are included in the package that can be used to directly attach the LED bar.
- Under individual and spare parts, you can find everything for a customized mounting.
The aquaLUMix comes with an adjustable bracket and other mounting solutions. The spotBEAM can either be mounted with a separately available gooseneck or integrated with other LEDaquaristik mounting solutions.
The differences between these products depend on your individual lighting needs. The aquaLUMix provides a compact and highly powerful solution with all the light colors needed for an appealing daylight simulation. It also includes an integrated mount and the ability for heat recovery.
If you prefer a tailor-made lighting solution, then eco+ or PRO² might be a better option. These modular systems allow additional control over the arrangement, quantity, and length of individual LED bars. The choice depends on your vision of perfect lighting, whether you opt for the ready-made solution (aquaLUMix) or prefer a customizable system (eco+/PRO²).

LED water cooling offers several benefits. Firstly, it ensures optimal cooling for the LED bars and effectively uses their waste heat to warm the aquarium. LEDs, whether used at home or in aquaristics, lose luminosity over time. The indicated LED lifespan, such as 40,000 hours, means that the LED will only have 50% of its original brightness after this period. Proper cooling can significantly mitigate this decline in performance.
Although the temperature-optimized aluminum profile already allows for passive cooling, active water cooling is often superior. Water cooling channels the heat energy, which is wasted in traditional LED bars, into the aquarium water, thereby reducing the load on the aquarium heater. This makes LED water cooling with heat recovery a significant advantage for aquarists.

When using with sea water or deviant fresh water (eg very low PH), we recommend using the TITAN upgrade.
Advantages:
Optimal Temperature Control: The LEDs operate within the optimal temperature range to maximize luminous duration and performance.
Heat Recovery: The LED water cooling utilizes the waste heat from the LEDs to supply warm water to the aquarium.
Energy Efficiency: The power consumption of the aquarium heater is significantly reduced. LED bars with heat recovery pay off much faster.
Efficient Water Cooling: Two integrated XL channels for water cooling provide high flow rates, excellent cooling properties, and maximum efficiency. The system is virtually maintenance-free.
Flexibility: Connect the water cooling of several PRO² LED bars together.
Noiseless Operation: Our system offers noiseless operation for an undisturbed aquarium experience.
Special Features:
Integrated Water Cooling: Our aluminum profile allows unhindered heat exchange between LED and cooling water, while competitors have lower efficiency.
High-quality Construction: The XL channels carry 56% more water for superior cooling properties. Easy accessibility simplifies cleaning. Silicone hose and 180° bend are made of high-quality material for durability and shape stability.

An automatic aquarium light control system or LED daylight simulation system offers great advantages for you and your fish!
Aquarium lights switching on and off suddenly is a source of recurring shock and stress to which your fish are exposed on a daily basis. The inhabitants of the aquarium would be much less nervous if they were gently brought out of their night-time rest. Moreover, a gradual, dimmed sunrise and sunset is not only closer to nature and visually very appealing, it also ensures that you are not suddenly plunged into darkness yourself at some point in the evening.
Our automatic light controls have between 2 and 8 singly and individually programmable channels, depending on the model. This allows each connected LED lamp to be controlled separately in terms of time and brightness. Therefore, in addition to simply modelling the sun rising and setting, you can add details such as stormy weather, clouds, moonshine and many other programs and simulations.
Another big advantage: During the LED daylight simulation, it is only very seldom that all your LED bars are operating simultaneously at full power, which has positive consequences for the electricity they consume. With only a slight throttling of the output (dimming), the power consumption drops almost in direct proportion without the light appearing noticeably less bright. A secondary effect is an extension of the service life of the LED lamp.
