LED – Not Just for Reef Tanks!

What are LED lights and how can they help you, your aquarium and the environment?

AquaRay® lights are called solid state lighting (SSL), which is a type of lighting that uses light-emitted diodes (LEDs) as the sources of illumination rather than the traditional filament in incandescent light bulbs or gas used in fluorescent lamps. Solid state means that the light in an LED is emitted from a solid object – a block of semiconductor – rather than in a vacuum or gas tube (incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent lamps, respectively).

An important feature of SSL systems are that, compared to traditional lighting systems, they create visible light with reduced heat generation, which leads to greater efficiency and lower electrical costs. Furthermore, the solid state nature of LED technology provides greater resistance to shock, vibration and wear, which dramatically increases the lifespan of LEDs to considerably more than 5x that of traditional lamps.

Because LED systems generate less heat, last longer and require less electricity, they save you money in several ways:

• Lower electrical bills from running your aquarium lights
• Lower electrical bills from having to always cool your aquarium water
• Lower costs to maintain and replace lamps or bulbs

LED systems also benefit the environment:

• Less carbon footprint due to reduced electrical consumption
• No mercury – traditional systems contain mercury
• Less waste since you don’t go through as many lamps
