Just a few days ago Aqua Photon showed off a prototype Photon Linea LED fixture at a marine aquarium conference in Berlin. Here are some exclusive photos from the event along with brief details.
The Photon Linea LED prototype currently being tested and there is no guarantee that the light will hit full production, but if you like the Aqua Photon Metal Halide and T5 units we showed you in the past, it’s hard not to like this solid state version. In terms of exterior appearance, the LED sports the same aluminum body as the Photon Linea T5 fixtures.
The Linea LED Prototpye utilizes TRIDONIC.ATCO’s TALEXXeos P211 LEDs. There are a total of 24 leds, 20 being 6.5K daylight with the remaining 4 being blue. The LEDs are currently being driven at 350mA for 1.2w of electric consumption each (28.8w total). They can be bumped up to 700mA (2.4w/each) for increased output. However, at this time the Prototype is being designed without a fan and the unit cannot tolerate the increase in heat.
Photon has forgone optics, instead they are using reflectors to direct the light downward. This will have the benefit of increased spread and coverage, but some decrease in intensity.
The LED craze is coming…
Danke vielmals – Torsten!
