Dynamic Reef Lighting with Dual-Axis LED Clusters
Solartronic is a standalone unit with patented dual-axis control. Unlike other "static" aquatic lighting fixtures the Solartronic angles the light throughout the day with daylighting intensity which can also be adjusted based on water chemistry. As we all know, lighting has a direct relationship with coral’s health, coloration, and growth rate. Unfortunately, almost all reef lighting in the market lacks automation. With today’s technology, lighting can be much more automated and that’s why we created the Solartronic.
Aquarium lighting doesn't need to be static
With the Soloartronic we can mimic the sun completely with added dynamics which allows the system to receive lighting at different angles during the day. With Solartronic, the angle of the light source changes during the lighting cycle meaning light can be directed to wherever it is needed. This allows users to have total control of the 2 LED clusters when and where light should be distributed while the XHO light strips provide the “blanket” coverage.
Run different lighting profiles on different days of the week
With the adjustable angles in each profile, we can further allow good coverage of the system while we can change the “focus” between each day of the week. No matter what lighting fixture is being used, a static light will give the same “hotspot” every day but Solartronic converts this drawback into an advantage with multiple “sweet spots”. Corals don’t bleach in 1 day but when the hotspot stays the same daily, after a period of time, corals will suffer when receiving too much light. On the other hand, when we have multiple sweet spots, we can provide higher intensity every few days while allowing corals to “rest” after a day of more intense lighting. In many articles, this has proven to be beneficial to corals instead of receiving the same “energy” day in day out.
When being used together with Mastertronic in the same system, the full potential is unleashed
When combined with Mastertronic, the lighting intensity can be automatically adjusted based on nutrients or even alkalinity (PO4, NO3, dKH) reading. From many documentations, it has been confirmed that the higher the nutrients the higher lighting intensity should be or at least not the same level before the increase in nutrient levels. With the patented dynamic lighting feature, corals do not only receive a boring fixed lighting angle but multiple angles which create multiple sweet spots per fixture. This will promote natural lighting patterns resulting in natural growth while reducing shadowing due to overgrown colonies.
