Experience unmatched control with the advanced Lunar Brightness Control feature of the Orphek App!
A New Standard in Lunar Precision by Orphek
Orphek is not simply updating the Orphek iCon App — we are introducing a breakthrough technology that redefines how moonlight is controlled in reef aquariums.
Building on the unmatched controllability of the Orphek iCon ecosystem, we proudly introduce Lunar Mode Brightness Limit — an advanced feature that delivers unprecedented precision in nocturnal lighting management.
For the first time, users can define a maximum brightness limit for each individual channel during Lunar Mode, allowing moonlight to be fine-tuned with extraordinary accuracy and biological relevance.
This innovation elevates lunar lighting control beyond traditional intensity curves, delivering true biological precision aligned with natural lunar conditions.
Unlike conventional moonlight settings, Lunar Mode Brightness Limit ensures that nocturnal illumination never exceeds biologically appropriate thresholds, supporting coral health, natural nocturnal behavior, and spawning cues — while eliminating the risks associated with excessive nighttime light exposure.
Moonlight is not decorative. It is a biological signal!
What Lunar Mode Brightness Limit Delivers
With this new feature, Orphek iCon users gain:
- Per-channel lunar brightness control from 0.01% to 1.00%
- Immediate, real-time application of all adjustments
- Full integration with Sun & Moon Synchronization
- Improved stability of coral circadian and lunar rhythms
- Exceptional precision for research facilities, coral farming, and advanced reef systems
This advancement reinforces Orphek’s leadership in biologically driven aquarium lighting, translating scientific collaboration into practical, accessible tools for serious reef aquarists worldwide.
Lunar Mode Brightness Limit
Precise Control of Moonlight Intensity
Orphek has enhanced Lunar Mode by allowing users to define the maximum brightness level for each individual LED channel during moonlight operation.
This feature provides unprecedented control over nocturnal illumination, ensuring biologically accurate moonlight simulation while preventing excessive nighttime exposure.
