Description
The AquaIllumination Blade Coral Glow is a slim, programmable LED strip light designed for reef aquariums and coral fluorescence applications. Its LED mix combines Royal Blue and ultraviolet-spectrum diodes to emphasize spectral peaks that enhance coral fluorescence.
Blade Coral Glow fixtures are available in seven lengths from 12 to 66 inches. All sizes use EdgeField optics for wide, even coverage and integrated smart control through the Mobius app, with additional support for myAI and Neptune Systems Apex through an optional MXM module.
Key Features
- LED spectrum designed to enhance coral fluorescence
- EdgeField optics provide a 95-degree spread with even PAR distribution and color mixing
- Available in seven lengths from 12 to 66 inches
- Passive cooling design operates without a fan
- IP66-rated construction for resistance to dust and water exposure
- Mobius-ready wireless control with myAI compatibility
- Compatible with Neptune Systems Apex through an optional MXM module
Coral Glow Spectrum
The Blade Coral Glow uses a blue and ultraviolet-focused LED mix designed to emphasize spectral peaks that stimulate coral fluorescence. Output is concentrated in the lower range of the blue spectrum and upper range of the ultraviolet spectrum.
Each LED cluster group contains 24 diodes. Blade size determines the number of cluster groups, with approximately one cluster group used per foot of fixture length.
LED Configuration Per Cluster Group:
Royal Blue: 12 | 430nm: 6 | 415nm: 3 | 405nm: 3
EdgeField Optics
EdgeField optics are designed to provide even PAR distribution, consistent color mixing and broad coverage along the length of the fixture. The optical system produces a 95-degree spread while maintaining visible shimmer in the aquarium.
Flexible Lighting Configurations
Blade Coral Glow is designed primarily as a supplemental source of fluorescence and can be combined with Blade Coral Grow fixtures for a broader reef-lighting system. AquaIllumination recommends a 2:1 ratio of Grow to Glow fixtures for maximum performance, although other combinations can be used depending on the required light level.
Blade fixtures can also be used alongside AquaIllumination Hydra or EcoTech Marine Radion fixtures as supplemental lighting for additional fill, spectrum or fluorescence.
Control and Compatibility
Blade Coral Glow includes integrated smart control and can be configured and programmed through the Mobius app on a compatible iOS or Android device. It is also compatible with the myAI app.
The Blade Coral Glow can be controlled through Neptune Systems Apex and Apex Fusion using a separately purchased MXM module and compatible Apex controller.
Mounting
Blade fixtures up to 39.1 inches include the Low Profile Tank Rest. The tank rest can extend up to 4.5 inches on either side of the fixture, providing up to 9 inches of total adjustment.
Blade fixtures longer than 39.1 inches include mounting clips compatible with AquaIllumination HMS Single-Arm and HMS Hanging Kit rails. Each Blade also includes an M8 mounting thread at each end for additional mounting configurations.
Optional Elevated Tank Mount, Hanging Kit and Hybrid Mount solutions are available for installations requiring different mounting arrangements.
