The Reef Brite XHO (Xtreme High Output) LED Strip Light is built for reef keepers who want intense actinic output without the cost of a full-featured controller-based fixture. The Blue variant uses a specifically curated LED spectrum tuned to stimulate fluorescent pigments in corals, invertebrates, and fish — producing the vivid color response that characterizes a well-lit reef tank. At 12 LEDs per foot running at 3W each (driven at roughly 50% capacity), the XHO series puts out substantially more light than Reef Brite's Tech series, which runs approximately 6 LEDs per foot and is better suited to pure supplemental roles.
The XHO line covers both primary and supplemental lighting applications. As a primary source, a single strip or a bank of strips can light smaller systems or compartments like sumps and refugia. As a supplement, the Blue actinic works particularly well alongside T5 and metal halide fixtures — the added blue wavelengths enhance fluorescence without disrupting the broader color balance of the main light. Reef Brite's XHO strips are a popular pairing with ATI T5 fixtures specifically because they attach directly to the ATI housing's existing end plates with no extra hardware required.
Building a custom multi-strip fixture is straightforward. Up to five XHO LED strips can be ganged together using Reef Brite's LED Hanging Brackets (sold separately), giving you a scalable path from a single accent strip to a full-coverage reef fixture. Mounting legs are also available separately for rim-mounted applications. The 30" strip measures 1.85" wide by 1.1" tall, keeping a low profile over the water. The power cord extends over 6 feet, providing flexibility in placement relative to outlets and controllers.
Overview
High Output. Targeted Spectrum.
The XHO Blue is built around a single purpose: driving fluorescence in reef tanks with dense, high-wattage actinic output. Here is what sets it apart.
Dense LED Array
- 12 LEDs per foot — double the density of Reef Brite's Tech series
- 3W per LED, driven at approximately 50% for balanced output and longevity
- Consistent light coverage along the full length of the strip
Flexible Installation
- Mounts directly to most T5 fixtures with screw-on end plates
- Compatible with Reef Brite LED Mounting Legs and Hanging Brackets (sold separately)
- Up to five XHO strips can be combined into a single custom fixture
Primary or Supplemental Use
- Strong enough to serve as the main light source on smaller systems
- Works as an actinic supplement alongside T5 and metal halide fixtures
- Fits ATI T5 housings without additional mounting hardware
