14,000 K: A cool white daylight to approximate sunlight at depth on the coral reef
20,000K: A cool Blue/White daylight with more blue intensity compared to 14,000K daylight
Day Intensity
Sets the daytime light intensity for 10% to 100%.
Mode
There are four Mode option to choose from: ON, OFF, TIMER and DEMO.

Battery Back Up Feature
Aqualight LED is equipped with a battery backup feature that will automatically save user programmed set up options and clock setting in the event of power interruption or if the fixture is unplugged for maintenance. Battery does not require replacement.
Thermal Monitoring and Cooling Fan
Each LED module contains thermal sensors to monitor LED-operating temperatures. When needed, the cooling fan will turn on to provide air circulation and active cooling. The cooling fan is variable speed and will only turn on when needed.
Automatic Shut Off
In the unlikely event the fan is not able to provide adequate cooling to the fixture, Aqualight LED is designed to automatically shut off individual LED modules should temperature rise beyond a certain threshold. This situation is very unlikely and would occur in extreme situations where the ambient temperature is very high or where heat is trapped in the fixture. Once the module cools to an acceptable temperature, it will illuminate and resume normal operation.
NOTE: For canopy installations, additional ventilation may be required to ensure proper cooling and to prevent heat from becoming trapped in the fixture.
Periodic Maintenance
Lens Cover: On occasion, it may be necessary to clean the polycarbonate lens cover of the Aqualight LED by performing the following steps:
- Power off light fixture by unplugging each power supply from the power outlet or power strip. Then unplug each power supply for the Aqualight LED.
- Remove light fixture from aquarium and place face up on a dry flat surface.
- Using a crosshead screwdriver, remove the lens/leg Retainer by removing (3) screws.
- Slowly slide lens from light fixture making sure not to scratch the lens.
- Using a soft, nonabrasive cloth, gently wipe down lens to remove any buildup that may have accumulated. It may be necessary to moisten cloth with warm water to make cleaning easier.
- Once the lens has been cleaned, slowly slide lens into light fixture housing and reinstall lens/leg Retainer.
Cooling Fan Foam Insert: Periodically clean the Fan Foam Insert to remove any dust that may have collected. To do so, remove Fan Foam Retainer and then remove Foam Insert. Run Foam under cool water to clean. Allow to dry thoroughly before reinstalling the Foam and Retainer. |
