Orca LED 90cm – Blue/White

Description

Orca LED 90cm – Blue/White — Slim blue and white LED light for tanks up to 90 cm, rim-mounted or hung

The fluorescent tube that came with an older tank is dim, warm-running and expensive to replace, and the tank looks flat under it. Orca LED 90cm – Blue/White (SKU: LT23) is a slim LED aquarium light that rests on the edges of the tank and spans the full length of an aquarium of up to 90 cm, combining white LEDs for everyday viewing with blue LEDs that bring out fish colour and give a moonlight look. The unit is described by the supplier as waterproof, and it can either sit on the rim of the tank or be suspended above an open-top aquarium.

White and blue together give a crisp, bright look that suits community fish, cichlids and fish-only marine tanks, while the blue alone shows off fluorescent and iridescent colours in the evening. LED lighting runs cooler than older tube lights and uses less power for its brightness, so it adds less heat to the water and costs less to run through a daily photoperiod. Low-light plants such as anubias, java fern, cryptocorynes and mosses grow under this type of light, but demanding carpeting plants need a dedicated planted-tank fixture. Plug it into a simple mains timer to give the fish a regular day of about eight to ten hours, which also helps keep algae in check.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Replacing old tube lights: A slimmer, cooler-running LED on a tank of up to 90 cm.
• Community and cichlid tanks: Bright white light with blue to lift fish colour.
• Fish-only marine tanks: A blue and white look for tanks without demanding corals.
• Open-top aquariums: Can be hung above the water instead of resting on the rim.

How to Use / Installation Process

• Check the length: Confirm the tank is no longer than 90 cm so the light seats properly.
• Mount or hang: Rest it across the tank edges or suspend it above an open top.
• Protect the plug: Keep power connections dry and leave a drip loop in the cable.
• Set a photoperiod: Use a timer for about eight to ten hours of light per day.
