Aqua Illumination Blade Grow Coral 48in (122.17cm) 100w

Description

Aqua Illumination Blade Coral Grow 48in 100W — Full-Length LED Strip for Coral Growth on 1.2 m Reef Tanks

A single-point LED leaves the ends of a four-foot reef in shadow, and strip lighting is how that problem is solved. Aqua Illumination Blade Grow Coral 48in 100W (SKU: HYDSL48SW) is AI’s Blade Coral GROW in its 48 inch length, a 122.2 cm aluminium strip only 7 cm wide and 1.6 cm high that draws 100 W at full power. Each 24-diode cluster carries 12 royal blue, 6 cool white and 6 blue LEDs, about one cluster per foot, a balance AI says efficiently addresses the photosynthetic needs of coral, with output concentrated in the 400 to 500 nm range. EdgeField optics give a 95 degree spread.

Control is built in: local buttons on the light, the free myAI app over Bluetooth, the Mobius app, or a Neptune Apex through the MXM module, with several Blades grouped together in the app. The 48 inch model ships with HMS clips and has an M8 thread at each end for custom mounts; hybrid brackets pair it with a Hydra or Radion, and a hanging kit suspends several Blades. It is passively cooled with no fan, rated IP66 water resistant rather than waterproof, and powered by a 100 to 240 V adapter with a 3 m cable. AI suggests two Grow strips per Glow.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Four-foot reef tanks: Even, end-to-end coverage on aquariums up to about 122 cm long.
• Supplementing point-source LEDs: Filling the shadows a Hydra or Radion leaves at the ends of a tank.
• Growth-first lighting: Systems where PAR efficiency matters more than pop; pair with Coral Glow for fluorescence.
• Frag racks and grow-out: Uniform light over long, shallow systems.

Installation & Setup Guide

• Mount: Clip to an HMS rail with the included clips, use the M8 end threads, or suspend with the Blade hanging kit.
• Power: Connect the supplied 24 V adapter to mains; the light cable is 3 m.
• Pair: Enable Bluetooth, open myAI and add the Blade to a new or existing group.
• Program: Set the schedule in the app, or use the buttons for local control.
