This is not your normal LED strip, by any means! Incorporating proprietary EdgeFieldTM Optics, The Blade enhances color and efficiency while delivering uniform PAR, smooth color mixing, amazing 95 degree spread, and a realistic shimmer effect in your aquarium. The light may wrap around high spots in your tank thanks to the broad angle and modular cluster LEDs, which reduces shadowing and creates a clean illumination. Shadows are eliminated and the light distribution is equal, equivalent to standard T5 lights, but with more efficiency and at a fraction of the price when 3 or more Blade strips are combined! In order to improve light coverage and lessen hotspots, you may also utilize the Blade in conjunction with any existing lighting fixtures as auxiliary or fill lighting.
To meet the photosynthetic requirements of corals, the Coral Grow model offers a potent and well-balanced blue and white growth spectrum with output in the deep blue through blue range (400-500nm). Use the Grow to obtain the most PAR output per square foot, the Glow to get the most fluorescence, or combine the two to achieve both. Although a 2:1 Grow to Glow ratio is ideal for achieving peak performance, one of each is completely appropriate when less light is required.
Each AI Blade LED Strip contains around one light cluster group for every foot of the fixture’s length. Tight grouping and strategically positioned diodes give the Blade platform its outstanding balance and shine. The 24 diodes that make up each cluster group in the Blade Coral Grow are as follows:
12x Royal Blue
- 6x Cool White
- 6x Blue
The AI Blade may be mounted in a variety of ways to fit any system. To discover the ideal mounting solution for your setup, select from a Tank Rest, Elevated Tank Rest, Hanging Kit, Hybrid Mount, or HMS Adapter Arm.
- Tank Rest – This low-profile mount, which comes with all Blade lights up to 39 inches in length, extends up to 4.5 inches on either side of the fixture and rests right on top of your tank.
- Mounting Clips – These clamps are included with all Blade lights above 39″ and work with the rails of the AI HMS Single Arm Mount and HMS Hanging Kit.
- Elevated Tank Rest – A stylish and reliable tank mount that fits both rimmed and rimless tanks. Compared to the regular Tank Rest, the Elevated Tank Rest spreads the light more widely and makes it simpler to enter the aquarium.
- Hanging Kit – The Hanging Kit, which is made of premium brushed aluminum and has a black finish, offers a stylish way to hang your Blade above your aquarium. Additionally, you may place 3, 4, or 6 light bars in parallel with the Hanging Kit for greater coverage and more streamlined looks.
- Hybrid Mount – a mounting system created to join Blade strips with a single AquaIllumination Hydra pendant light or an array of EcoTech Radion pendant lights. The finest of all possible worlds together!
- Custom Mounting – The Blade also has M8 mounting holes at either end, allowing you to quickly design a bespoke mount with countless alternatives if none of the aforementioned mounting solutions appeal to you.
Through the MyAi or Mobius apps for iOS and Android smartphones, the Blade LED may be wirelessly controlled. You may adjust the spectrum strength and create individual schedules for each light using the app, or you can just choose from one of the preset in-app themes. On Google Play and the App Store, both applications are available for no cost download. Additionally, each Blade LED has internal controls for switching between spectrums.
