AquaIllumination's Plasma Aquarium Lamp
May 30, 2009 - 12:20 PM - by Matt Rogers
AquaIllumination will soon be bringing the first LiFi by Luxim based solid-state plasma lighting system.

'The outlook of this technology is promising, however at this time pricing, features and availability are unknown due to the products early stage of development. From our initial testing we have found this single emitter appears to produce equivalent output as metal halide systems with the longevity of LED based systems. The light easily lends its self to a wide color spectrum range and intensity control.'

New Coral Vue Lumen Bright Fixture Coming Soon
May 25, 2009 - 11:28 AM - by Matt Rogers
This just in... Coral Vue is in the final stages of development on a new Lumen Bright fixture with that has dual LB mini pendants, 4 HO T5s and moonlights. The fixtures will come with separate power cords for the halides, T5s and LEDs. The fixture will house the T5 ballast but the MH ballast will be sold separately from the fixture so that users can use their ballast of choice. You can gain access to the fixture to change bulb positioning with in the LB reflector and any servicing that may be required to the fixtures components. Note the T5s are mounted at angles to direct the light within the aquarium due to the suggest hanging heights of Lumen Bright reflectors.

The fixtures are in the final stages of development but are not the final product.
