Hydra 64 HD LED Reef Light - Black - Aqua Illumination

More Color, More Spread, More Power, and More Refined

A new generation of Aqua Illumination Hydra lighting is here! The Hydra 64 HD has been redesigned making the reef lights more efficient with better aesthetics. The Hydra Lights have been a staple in the reefing community for years and the new Hydra 64 HD Lights take the same great features and benefits while using more efficient hardware that ultimately gives better light and spread throughout your aquarium.

• Easy Control with the MyAI App
• More LEDs
• More PAR
• More Spread
• Improved Optic Design
• Improved Water Resistance
• Thinner Form Factor
• Multiple Mounting Options
• Dedicated Moonlight Channel
• Wider Spectrum (more channels)

Design

Redesigning the plastics in the Prime and Hydra lineup has resulted in two major benefits: better efficiency and better aesthetics. Efficiency improvements reduce the demands on active cooling for longer component life. Improvements to design thin the fixtures and reduce their profile and presence over your aquarium.

Resilient

Water-resistance is a major benefit in aquarium lighting - and while the new Prime and Hydras are not waterproof, design improvements make them more capable of facing the moisture-rich adventures of reef keeping.

Moonlight

A dedicated moonlight LED and channel has been added in the new Prime HD, Prime FW, Hydra 32HD and Hydra 64HD modules. This allows for independent moonlighting designed to simulate the natural lunar color and intensity.

Control

Control on the lights will use the existing myAI® app which is free, simple and very quick to a program offering onsite direct BLE connection through your smart device. Additional control options may become available for the new generation Prime and Hydras over time.

Compatible with MXM

Neptune Systems, EcoTech Marine, and AquaIllumination have joined forces to bring MXM to life. Now all your favorite EcoTech and AI pumps and lights can be under the wireless control of Apex & Apex Fusion—the user-friendly, yet powerful, interface you already know and love. No more switching between multiple apps.

Optics and Output

Output in terms of PAR, color mixing and spread are all improved with the new fixtures. The incorporation of more LEDs results in a more targeted full-spectrum, TIR lenses shape the light’s output and improve its efficiency. The result is more color POP as well as a slightly wider output area and higher average PAR. A combination LED placement and lens geometry blend the light from the clusters so that color separation is further reduced.

Coverage

• Effective Spread: 30" x 30"
• Effective Depth: 24"
• Recommended Mounting Height: 8-10"

The Hydra 64HD delivers more output with a higher average PAR than any other AI Module.

HD AI’s popular HD functionality, through which a user can route power not in use by one color channel into another color channel is a much-loved feature on the previous generation HD fixtures. As the new product names imply (Prime 16HD, Hydra 32HD, and 64HD) all the new HD lights retain this exciting feature.
