Be surprised! Your OR4 iCon 30 LED Bar comes with a groundbreaking technology – The Sun & Moon Synchronization.
What is Sun/Moon Synchronization? This feature allows your light to automatically follow the sun and moon’s daily cycles based on your chosen geographic location anywhere in the world.
What are the Benefits? There are numerous benefits to replicating these natural cycles:
Natural Behavior: Mimicking nature allows your tank inhabitants to experience light in a natural way, which can help promote natural behaviors.
Biological Clock Regulation: Correctly synchronizing light cycles helps regulate the biological clocks of corals, fish, and other aquatic organisms.
Spawning Stimulation: Proper light cycles are crucial for triggering natural coral and fish spawning, particularly during the summer months.
Macrobiology Support: Accurate light cycles support the health and function of the entire aquarium ecosystem, including macrobiology.
Orphek’s Sun and Moon Synchronization provides an authenticity never reached before by any other brand!
Get also another Unprecedented Groundbreaking feature – the Orphek full progressive dimming capacity technology.
Orphek’s cutting-edge system provides the OR4 iCon 30 LED Bars with full progressive dimming capacity across all channels. As pioneers in the industry, we are proud to be the first and only company in the world offering a ~10,000% dimming range control system, encompassing 0-100% and 0.06-1% for Lunar Cycle simulation.
What Does This Mean and How Does it Help My Reef Aquarium?
Traditional dimming systems typically only reduce light output to a minimum of 1%. Orphek’s advanced dimming system, however, allows for extremely fine-tuned light control during lunar cycle simulation. This means the light intensity can be reduced to as low as 0.06% during the new moon phase, gradually increasing to 1% at the full moon.
Why is Such Low-Level Dimming Important?
At these extremely low light levels (0.06%-1%), the light emitted provides subtle illumination across the full spectrum without producing any measurable PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation). This subtle illumination mimics the natural moonlight, creating a more realistic environment for your reef inhabitants. Only Orphek offers this level of control.
The benefits of this unique dimming capability include:
- Realistic Lunar Simulation: Provides a more natural lunar cycle for enhanced biological cues.
- Nighttime Observation: Allows for nighttime observation of your reef inhabitants without disrupting their natural behaviors.
- Stress Reduction: Minimizes stress on sensitive organisms by avoiding abrupt changes in light intensity.
- Scientific Applications: Valuable for marine science research requiring precise control over light levels.
