EDGEFIELD™ OPTICS
Optics are one of the most important components of an advanced lighting system. Edgefield™ technology incorporated in the Blade delivers even PAR, smooth color mixing and exceptional spread.
Edgefield™ optics, designed exclusively for the Blade, provide an incredible, 95 degree spread while achieving unmatched light mixing along the length of the blade. The specular exit surface presents a crisp and natural shimmer in your aquarium.
BRIGHT SIZED
The Blade Coral Growth, Blade Coral Glow and Blade Freshwater are available in 7 different sizes. Regardless of tank size or application, Blade has you covered.
TANK REST INCLUDED
For Blades sized up to 39.1 inches the Low Profile Tank Rest is included. The tank rest extends up to 4.5 inches on either side of the blade (for a total of 9 inches).
MOUNTING CLIP INCUDED
For Blades over 39.1 inches Blade Mounting Clips are included. These clips are compatible with the AI HMS Single-Arm and HMS Hanging Kit rails. Different application? No problem, the Blade has many other mounting options available or use the clips with your custom mount.
WATER RESISTANT
Blade is not only versatile but built to last in the harsh-environment of marine aquariums. Blade meets IP66 standards which indicate the highest protection against particles and a high level of protection against water.
SILENT RUNNING
The Blade incorporates a highly efficient heat sink design. Passive cooling means no fan and no air moment or fan noise. This makes the Blade ideal for lighting aquariums in living spaces where less noise is a big plus.
SIMPLE BUILT-IN CONTROL
All AI devices include smart control standard. Use the myAI® or Mobius apps on any iOS or Android device to easily set up or program your AI equipment.
BETTER TOGETHER
Blade Coral Growth is designed for maximum PAR efficiency and Blade Coral Glow is designed for maximum fluorescence. Mix them together and get the best of both. Peak performance is best achieved in a ratio of 2:1 Growth to Glow, but one of each is perfectly acceptable when less light is needed.
SOLO
The beauty of Blade is its versatility. Used alone the Blade Coral Growth provides an excellent source of tuned light for your marine aquarium. Attractive and powerful, an adjustable but easy spectrum ensures great coral growth. Edgefield™ Optics delivers well mixed colour and super even spread while preserving the caustics that make your tank sparkle.
FULL CUSTOM
Love the fill of a large fixture and the vibrance of a pendant? Embrace full spectrum for daytime but want to see a glowing sunset? Have great lights already but want to fill in some gaps or pop fluorescence? Blade has you covered. Easily usable with your existing Radion or Hydra fixtures and so easily mountable they will work with many others, go ahead, customize your aquarium lighting your way!
