- Hello, reef keepers, this is Walin from Marine Depot
and today we're exploring Red Seas Reef LED90 Lights.

Red Sea has been making reefing simple for a long time now.
We've had a fully established Reefer 525 XL
running for quite a while, and it was about time
we fit it with the new Reef LED90 Lights.
Out of the box, you'll notice that the
Reef LED90s have a very simple design.
The rectangle design has comparable dimensions
to other lights in this class.
The top portion of the light is all ventilation
for the cooling fan,
which will help prevent it from overheating.
Having these vents on the side also means that
it is capable of canopy mounted set up,
where top ventilation can sometimes be a problem.
The Reef LED90 uses very small LED chips,
organized in a dense configuration.
They're arranged with the combination of
blue, violet, and ultraviolet chips
amounting to a 23,000 Kelvin channel,
with a line of white chips in the center,
amounting to an 8,000 Kelvin channel.
This combination of tiny chips and dense lenses
do a lot to minimize the disco effect
that many LED fixtures can have.
The disco effect is the result of
insufficient light blending
coming from different light diodes.
It can be mainly seen as disparage colors of light
dancing across the surfaces and substrate of your tank.
Thankfully, with the Reef LED,
these patterns are nowhere to be seen,
and all we're left with is a beautiful shimmer.
The LEDs on a light are separated into two channels,
white and blue.
The LEDs are housed under a large semi sphere lens that
further assists blending the light from the small chips.
The lack of additional colors on the light
does eliminate some of the spectrum customization
that other lights offer,
but it also adds greatly to the simplicity of its control.
To get started with your new light,
just download Red Seas ReefBeat app.
Once installed, go to your light
and hit the single button for five seconds,
and then connect it to your network via the app.
Once connected, you will have full control
over your light via wifi.
As is standard nowadays, there are preset modes
to get you up and going very quickly,
in Red Seas very own app called the ReefBeat app.
Some of these modes include both the acclimation
and lunar cycles, of course for the more advanced reefers
out there, you can always manually set
your preferred spectrum and intensity
across the day as you see fit.
Multiple lights will synchronize
in the order that they're added to the app,
but you can always adjust them individually
by ungrouping them if need be.
Red Sea offers two different mounting options
for their Reef LED90.
They'll accommodate most tanks.
The first is the new mounting arms
that come in three different sizes.
These sizes match a different Red Sea tanks
but they of course can be used on a plethora
of other tanks on the market.
Once assembled, the arms will mount
to the back walls of your tank,
and they are capable of bending
from 90 to 180 degrees vertically
giving you plenty of space to access
the top of your tank for maintenance.
Your second option is going to be a classic style
hanging kit, which is always a great choice
for ceiling installations.
Just by observing the lights over on our tank,
it's pretty easy to tell how powerful they are.
The spectra of light can be adjusted
from a deep 23,000 Kelvin blue
to a much more crisp 8,000 Kelvin white.
According to Red Sea, the par reading at the surface
is about 500, while 20 inches down,
you're still getting about 100 par
giving them great penetration.
If you have any questions about
Red Seas Reef LED90, feel free to let our experts know.
And they'd be happy to help you out.
