LED Light for planted aquarium
U R B A N NATURAL GROW
My friend and I worked in the past six months
on that project, It was important for us to create
LED light fixture that is equivalent to a pair of
54 watt T5 high quality fluorescents.
We took into consideration the light wavelength
combination that will help create photosynthesis.
Optical components were integrated in order to
produce maximum light scattering in the water from
top and all the way down to the substrate.
A lot of thought were given to the practical
aspects so we designed 3 operational modes;
Mode 1- Main light
Main light includes 3 illuminations levels;
Low, Medium and High that will allow maximum
flexibility while one monitor the plants growth.
Illuminations levels also enable to easily create
the course of sunrise-Midday-sunset light as a
reflection of natural behavior of sun light in our planet.
Mode 2 - View
View mode can be very useful for general
inspection and maintenance at any time of the
day or the night, on top of that the View mode
will illuminate the aquarium in nice and bright
light and that can be also very helpful when
guests arrive to visit while the main light is off.
Mode 3 - Moonlight
Moonlight is integrated in the fixture.
General information
The LED light pushes at least 2,500 clean luminous
and power consumption is up to 45 watt, we also
install digital controller and the fixture is water proof
Length 122 cm, Width 4 cm, Height 2 cm.
General view of the LED fixture that is design for planted aquarium.

Anubias petite go to the 'Pendulum Ball'.
Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia go to the 'Crinum Pillars'.
Microsorium SP & Microsorium narrow leaf go to the Cryptocoryne petchii "Chair".
After eighteen month of preparations U R B A N AQUASCAPING is finally in the water,
14 species of plants are part of the set-up and that is important to the initial cycle as
well for monitor the new LED Light for planted aquarium U R B A N LED NATURAL GROW.

For me aquarium represent a therapy, there is no
begining nor and or "finished product", aquarium
is a huge present and the best thing is to enjoy the
journey just like when hiking at all nature out there.
Scenery is live and changing constantly as well as
AQUASCAPING while plants will continue to grow.
U R B A N AQUASCAPING
is about harmony between
Hardware and Software.
Hardware = Aquarium/Cabinet (1)
+ Soil/Stone/Wood (2).
Software = Water/Plants/Fish (3).
We aspire to experience that triangle
as it is and always was one life tissue.
