UV
A proprietary blend of UV light enhances coral growth and color.

Penetration
Patented Dense Matrix LED technology concentrates multiple LED chips into a single array, creating a powerful and penetrating light source with wide coverage. The average penetration of an A160WE is 24" to 30" for most reefs. Penetration can be further enhanced by positioning multiple units in close proximity to each other.

Color Mixing
Different wavelengths are seamlessly blended within a single LED array, emitting uniform color across the coverage range.
