The Reef Brite 36" White XHO LED Strip Light is a high-output, single-bar LED fixture designed for reef tanks, fish-only systems, and sumps. Running 12 LEDs per foot at 3W each (driven at approximately 50%), it delivers substantial PAR without the heat penalty of metal halide. The White Daylight spectrum is well-suited for accentuating blue actinic channels in custom multi-bar builds or for use as a standalone freshwater fixture. It can function as a primary light source or as a supplement to existing T5 or metal halide fixtures, and mounts directly to most ATI T5 housings without additional hardware. Up to five XHO bars can be joined using Reef Brite's hanging brackets to form a custom fixture.

The Reef Brite XHO series sits a tier above the brand's Tech line in raw output: where Tech bars run roughly 6 LEDs per foot, XHO bars pack 12 per foot, each rated at 3W and driven at around 50% capacity for a balance of intensity and longevity. The 36" White Daylight version produces a broad, high-PAR spectrum that supports coral growth and pairs cleanly with blue actinic sources, whether those come from a companion XHO bar, a T5 bank, or existing metal halide pendants.

One of the more practical aspects of the XHO line is its mounting flexibility. Each bar ships with brackets compatible with most T5 fixtures that use screw-on end plates, and it clips directly onto ATI T5 housings in seconds without any additional hardware. For free-hanging or custom builds, Reef Brite's LED Mounting Legs and hanging brackets (sold separately) allow up to five XHO bars to be grouped into a single composite fixture sized to the tank.

The White Daylight spectrum is the right choice when the goal is boosting PAR and filling midrange wavelengths in a reef environment that already has blue coverage. It also works as a standalone light over freshwater planted tanks. Hobbyists comparing the XHO to the Tech series should note that Reef Brite specifically positions the lower-density Tech bars for supplemental use; the XHO is capable of serving as the primary driver of coral growth in tanks where a dedicated controller or dimmer is not required.

Setup is straightforward: the bar ships with a power supply and a cord exceeding six feet. At 1.85" wide and 1.1" tall, it has a slim profile that fits within most canopy and pendant configurations. Length options range from 24" to 72", so the 36" bar is a natural fit for tanks in the 30"–36" footprint range.

Overview
