RGB-UV Spectrum
The perfect mix of RGB 3-in-1 and UVA power leds to satisfy the most demanding Pro Aquascapers and has that extra when it comes to photography. UVA brings an interesting colour depth and dimension and is also said to be beneficial for plants and fish.
While the addition of UV is particularly sought after for aquascaping and for fish tanning, all planted aquariums benefit from and look great under this spectrum. The effects of UV light on plants and fish is a highly investigated topic with research spanning decades.
Delivers vibrant, crisp and natural lighting with awesome colour rendition and shimmer.
All channels on at the same intensity is the best way to show off this spectrum, gives perfect colour with stunning clarity and colour depth providing scapers an unrivalled competition level spectrum.
The UV power leds are locked into the RED channel, it makes sense to do this because RED channel on high is a no brainer for fresh water tanks and feature leds that need to come into play should therefore also be on this channel.
RGB-C Spectrum
The perfect mix of RGB 3-in-1 power leds and Crimson Fluoresce power leds to give unrivalled colour pop, especially reds but great colour pop on Greens and Blues too.
This spectrum delivers vibrant, crisp and natural lighting with awesome colour rendition and shimmer.
All channels on at the same intensity is the best way to show off this spectrum, gives amazing colour with stunning clarity and colour depth on heavily planted tanks, large shrimp tanks and fish displays
The Crimson power leds are locked into the RED channel, it makes sense to do this because RED channel on high is a no brainer for fresh water tanks and feature leds that need to come into play should therefore also be on this channel.
WRGB Spectrum
An old time favourite, the perfect mix of RGB 3-in-1 power leds andCool White leds for that classic RGBW look that has white leds in the mix.
Like the other two spectrums, it delivers vibrant, crisp and natural lighting with awesome colour rendition and shimmer.
All channels on at the same intensity is the best way to show off this spectrum, gives a crisp and natural colour with stunning clarity and colour depth.
The White power leds are locked into the RED channel, it makes sense to do this because RED channel on high is a no brainer for fresh water tanks and feature leds that need to come into play should therefore also be on this channel.

Beam Angle Choice
| Total Height | Tank Style | ||
| Live Plants & CO2 | Live Plants no CO2 | No live Plants | |
| 15cm | 120° | 120° | 120° |
| 30cm | 120° | 120° | 120° |
| 45cm | 120° | 120° | 120° |
| 60cm | 90° | 90° | 120° |
| 75cm | 60° | 90° | 90° |
| 90cm | 45° | 60° | 90° |
| 100cm | 30° | 45° | 60° |
The beam angle affects how wide or narrow the light beam will be. A lower degree beam angle like 30 will have a narrower beam than 45.
Narrower beams produce higher intensity and PAR directly below the light but that intensity tapers off as you move out from the center.
Wider beams have a lower intensity and PAR directly below but the intensity does not taper off as quickly.
Choosing an appropriate beam angle for your tank dimensions and lighting needs is not an exact science but use this table as a general guideline.
