Chihiros Series A II 60cm (Bluetooth)

Description

Chihiros Series A II 60cm (Bluetooth) — App-controlled full-spectrum LED light for 60cm planted aquariums

A planted tank’s lighting needs to do two jobs at once: push enough light down to the substrate for carpet plants, and still look natural through the day, which a fixed-output light cannot do without a controller bolted on afterwards. Chihiros Series A II 60cm (Bluetooth) (SKU: D-CA2-60) is the 60 cm model in Chihiros’s A II series of planted-aquarium LED lights, built around a built-in Bluetooth module rather than a separate control box, so the light pairs directly with Chihiros’s own app. The fixture runs 60 LEDs across a full spectrum of roughly 400 to 700 nanometres at a colour temperature of about 8,000 K, drawing 26 W and rated at approximately 2,450 lumens, though Chihiros notes that measured output in a tank can differ from the lab figure.

Programming runs through the My Chihiros app over Bluetooth: a 24-hour light cycle, sunrise and sunset ramping, and preset “weather” effects can all be set from a phone without any extra hardware beyond the light itself. The fixture measures 585 mm wide at the light bar, extending to about 600 mm across its transparent acrylic support arms, with a shallow 67 mm depth and 10 mm height, and weighs 1.16 kg. It runs on AC 110 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, and the acrylic arms allow the light to swivel for angle adjustment; an optional Rope Suspension Set is available for ceiling mounting where the arms are not suitable, though Chihiros notes that mount is not rated for 12 mm glass rims. It is sized for 60 cm aquariums specifically, not for longer or shorter tanks.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Planted 60 cm tanks: Primary lighting for carpet, stem and mid-ground plants at this tank length.
• App-controlled photoperiods: Automated sunrise, daylight and sunset cycles without a separate timer.
• Rimless or low-profile set-ups: The acrylic arm mount suits open-top tanks rather than lidded ones.
• Replacing T5 or T8 tubes: A single LED fixture in place of older fluorescent lighting at 60 cm.

Installation & Setup Guide

• Fit the acrylic arms: Rest the arms on the tank rim and swivel the light bar to the desired angle.
• Pair with the app: Download the My Chihiros app and connect over Bluetooth.
• Set the light cycle: Program a 24-hour cycle or choose a preset, adjusting sunrise and sunset timing.
• Consider the Rope Suspension Set: Fit it separately for ceiling mounting on tanks where the arm mount does not suit.
