Reef Brite 60" White XHO LED Strip Light

The Reef Brite XHO (Xtreme High Output) series occupies a specific niche in the LED market: high LED density, straightforward spectrum options, and flexible mounting that makes it equally useful as a standalone fixture or as a supplement to an existing light. The 60" White Daylight version packs 12 LEDs per foot across its full length, each running at 3W but driven at roughly 50% — a design choice that balances output with heat management and driver longevity. The result is a strip that produces meaningful PAR without the thermal concerns that come with fully driven, high-wattage emitters.

White Daylight XHO bars are particularly well-suited to reef tanks running blue-dominant T5 or actinic LED setups. The white channel fills in the spectrum, pushes PAR higher, and tends to accelerate coral growth in mixed-reef and SPS-dominated systems. They also work as standalone fixtures over freshwater planted tanks or fish-only displays where a clean white output is preferred. For reef applications pairing with ATI T5 fixtures, no additional mounting hardware is required — the included brackets clip directly to ATI end plates in seconds.

The XHO series sits above Reef Brite's Tech LED line in terms of output density. Tech strips run approximately 6 LEDs per foot and are better suited to light supplementation; the XHO's 12-per-foot density means it can function as a primary light source on its own or carry more of the load in a hybrid fixture. Up to five XHO bars can be joined using Reef Brite's LED Hanging Brackets (sold separately), giving reef keepers a path to building a fully custom multi-bar fixture scaled to their tank footprint.

Mounting options are flexible. The included brackets attach to most T5 fixtures with screw-on end plates. For freestanding or canopy installations, Reef Brite's LED Mounting Legs and Hanging Brackets are available separately. The power cord extends over six feet, which provides adequate reach to most sump-mounted or canopy-routed power strips without an extension. At 1.85" wide and 1.1" tall, the profile is slim enough to sit unobtrusively alongside T5 bulbs or inside a canopy without taking up significant space.
