AI Prime 16 Fuge Refugium Light Gen 2 - Aqua Illumination

All the power you could want to illuminate your "Fuge".

The new AI Prime® Fuge LED light fixture uses new optics and more LEDs with their mix of Photo Red, Red, Cool White, and UV LEDs which are specifically tailored to provide the perfect spectrum for growing macro-algae in your refugium. Macro-algae photosynthesis is fueled by elements in the water such as nitrates and phosphates. The more photosynthesis, the more growth, the more nitrates and phosphates are consumed, leaving your water clearer and fresher.

With a spread of 24" x 24", the AI Prime® Fuge will illuminate most refugiums efficiently. The standard with TIR lenses will give you the best balance of power and spread. The custom designed optic lenses ensure efficient light distribution and includes a diffused exit surface which improves color blending.

What`s New and Cool with Prime Fuge:

Design

The plastic construct of the new Prime and Hydra lineup benefits in two ways: better efficiency and better looks. The improvement to efficiency reduces the demands on active cooling for longer component life. Improvements to design a thinner fixture reduces their profile and presence over your aquarium.

Resilient

Design improvements were made to the new Prime and Hydras to make them more water resistant, meaning that they are more resilient in moisture rich environments.

Control

myAI® app is free to download to control your lights simply and quickly with direct BLE connection.

Optics and Output

Referring to PAR, the output, color mixing and spread has all been improved. With more LEDs, providing a full spectrum is targeted with TIR lenses that shape the ouput of the light while improving efficiency. As a result, there is more color pop, a wider spread, and higher average PAR. The combination of LED placement and lens geometry help blend the light cluster, reducing the color separation.

Mounting

Mounting hardware as previously available for Hydra and Prime fixtures will work with the new version lights. The exception is the Hydra Flex arm which will require a different light bracket due to the size difference in the new fixtures. The Flex arm bracket will change with he new fixtures. Older flex arms being used to mount the new lights will need a new light bracket.
