“These new high power spotlights were one of the most impressive pieces of kit at the recent Aqua 2011 trade show.”

see review below

The Eco-Aqua 30W LED Spotlight is a new high performance LED light source that replicates the lit effect of metal halide lamps with a closely packed cluster of high-power LEDs and a range of interchangeable lenses.

The spotlight uses a die cast aluminium housing with a unique finned design to eliminate the need for cooling fans and can be clamped to the side of the aquarium, or suspended over the tank with an optional suspension kit.

Available in four LED colour combinations, the Eco-Aqua spotlight can be used for both marine and freshwater aquariums and is suitable for use as the primary light source.

"When I arrived at the Arcadia stand and placed my PAR meter under the intense radiation of this particular light, my readings went off the scale. That’s something I’ve not seen before."

Lens and Spacing Recommendations

For freshwater planted aquariums the 120 degree lens supplied is recommended unless the unit is suspended 20cm or more above the aquarium. Spacing between LEDs recommended at 40cm.

For Marine aquariums with soft coral use the 40 degree lens when suspended or with deeper aquariums, the 60 degree lens for nano tanks and when mounted closer to the water surface. Spacing between LEDs is recommended at 35cm.

For Marine aquariums with hard corals use the 40 degree lens for deeper aquariums and space at 30cm. For tanks 55cm in height or less, use 60 degree lenses at 30cm spacings. It is possible to keep hard corals using the soft coral recommendations of 60 degree lens and 35cm spacing’s, but species with a high light requirement should then be kept directly under the centre of the spotlight.
