What is Solid State Lighting?
Solid State Lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that utilises
light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as sources of illumination rather than
electrical filaments or gas. The term "Solid State" refers
to the fact that light in an LED is emitted from a solid object - a
block of semiconductor - rather than from a vacuum or gas tube, as is
the case in traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps. Unlike these
traditional lighting systems however, SSL creates visible light with
reduced heat generation or parasitic energy dissipation leading to greater
efficiency and lower energy costs. In addition the solid state nature
of LED technology provides for greater resistance to shock, vibration
and wear thereby increasing its lifespan considerably to more than 5x
that of traditional lamp units.
What are the Benefits of AquaRay Solid State Lighting Systems?
AquaRay Solid State Lighting Systems have so many advantages
over traditional lighting systems and can be used on all types of aquarium
setups, from tropical to reef tanks. When you first install an AquaRay
light unit above your tank you will immediately see the main benefit
of this new technology. Unlike fluorescent lamps, AquaRay lighting delivers
a directed, or "point" source of light, and the passage of
this light through water is comparable with what would be seen in nature
under direct sunlight. In other words, visible beams of light will pierce
the water and reflect the movement of the water surface, producing a
more natural and eye-catching
effect in the aquarium itself. Until now, this effect could only be
replicated with very powerful (and expensive) light sources such as
metal halides.
Tank with 1 x Reef White AquaBeam 500 lamp unit
This
effect is further enhanced by the contrast and moving shadows that are
created on surfaces and aquarium d้cor in the aquarium - for
the first time you will really feel you have a piece of the Amazon or
the Great Barrier Reef in your own living room!
The benefits you will enjoy from ownership of an AquaRay Solid State
Lighting System do not stop there. You will be helping to reduce your
own future impact on the native environments of your tank inhabitants
by investing now in the most environmentally-friendly lighting system
available to the home aquarist.
• Up to 50,000 hours lamp life (equivalent to
6x standard fluorescent lighting) with no significant deterioration
in spectral quality and less than a 20% reduction in light output.
• Low voltage and cool running. Uses a safe,
low voltage DC supply, requiring no noisy fans and ensuring minimal
heat transfer to the aquarium water, reducing the need for additional
cooling systems.
• Highest useable and visible output of light
per unit of energy consumed (all visible and directed). Tests have shown
that a 12w AquaBeam produces up to 33% more illumination at 50cm than
a 24w compact fluorescent aquarium fitting.
• Lowest running costs and carbon footprint of
any lighting system available. An AquaBeam 500 lamp unit will cost less
than ฃ7 per year to run and will operate under normal aquarium
conditions for up to 10 years before needing replacement. All AquaRay
products are made by TMC in the UK, reducing unnecessary transport costs
and further lowering the carbon footprint of your lighting system.
They are also environmentally safe, using NO MERCURY and are
backed by a 5 YEAR GUARANTEE (1 year on power supply).
• Reduced light spillage around the aquarium
with all the light directed to the aquarium, without scatter from inefficient
reflectors and large, clumsy light fittings.
• Unique light-weight, waterproof design and
flexible mounting options including over tank hanging and wall mounting,
making them suitable for replacement, retrofit and new install.
• Future- proofed to include digital capability
and compatibility. Unlike most fluorescents and metal halides, AquaRay
light units have the capability to be digitally controlled and future
AquaRay developments will include timer functions, dimming and colour
changing to suit your mood and application.
The AquaRay AquaBeam 500 is a compact, 12w lighting strip -
