JUWEL HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 550: high-performance LED lighting for planted aquariums
The JUWEL HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 550 is a full-spectrum LED light designed to provide powerful, even lighting suited to the growth of aquatic plants. Thanks to its combination of white, red, green and blue LEDs, it enhances the natural colour rendition while promoting photosynthesis.
Its lighting technology ensures uniform light distribution right to the edges of the aquarium. It is an ideal solution for replacing the original MultiLux LED lighting of the JUWEL Trigon 350 LED and showcasing the fish, plants and décor.
A full spectrum with white LEDs 6500 K, 9000 K and RGB
The HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 550 combines CombiLighttechnology, consisting of white LEDs of 6500 K and 9000 K, with ColourLight technology incorporating red, green and blue LEDs.
This combination provides a light spectrum suited to photosynthesis while revealing the natural hues of fish and plants. Green and red plants benefit from balanced lighting and particularly vivid colour rendition.
LED lighting suited to the growth of aquatic plants
Thanks to its full spectrum and optimized light diffusion, the HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 supports the growth of aquatic plants, from easy species such as Anubias and Cryptocorynes to more demanding plants.
Its even distribution effectively illuminates the different areas of the décor, particularly in corner aquariums such as the JUWEL Trigon 350. For the best results, the intensity should be adjusted according to fertilization, CO2 availability and the plants' needs.
HeliaLux AppControl: programming and simulation of lighting cycles
When paired with the HeliaLux AppControl controller, the light can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet using the MyJUWEL.
app. This system allows you to program lighting schedules, adjust the intensity of the different LED channels and simulate sunrises and sunsets. Cloud effects and customised light profiles also allow you to adapt the aquarium's atmosphere throughout the day.
The HeliaLux AppControl controller is sold separately. The light must be connected to a suitable JUWEL power supply, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Compatible with the JUWEL Trigon 350 LED and the UniversalFit bracket
The HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 550 is specially designed for theJUWEL Trigon 350 LED aquarium. Thanks to the EasyFitsystem, it integrates into the aquarium's compatible structure and allows the original lighting to be replaced.
It can also be installed on certain aquariums from other brands using the JUWEL HeliaLux UniversalFit bracket, available separately, subject to compatibility.
Warning: when using the UniversalFit bracket, the light must always be installed on an open aquarium. It must never be covered by a lid or hood, as this could damage its electronic components and void the warranty.
ActivePore, AntiScratch and HeatControl: an LED light designed to last
The JUWEL HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 incorporates several technologies designed to protect its components and maintain its performance:
- ActivePore: technical membrane that limits moisture penetration into the light.
- AntiScratch: scratch-resistant safety glass to protect the lighting surface.
- HeatControl: aluminium structure promoting the dissipation of heat produced by the LEDs.
These technologies contribute to the durability of the light unit and the stability of its lighting, in accordance with the installation conditions recommended by JUWEL.
Natural-looking illumination to enhance the aquarium
The combination of white and RGB LEDs helps to bring out the colours of the fish, plants and decorative elements. Red foliage appears more intense, green plants retain natural shades and contrasts are better defined.
The even distribution of light all the way to the ends of the aquarium helps enhance the entire aquatic landscape, particularly in planted setups and corner aquariums.
Installation and maintenance of the JUWEL HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 550
The HeliaLux Spectrum 2.0 550 is installed on the mounts provided for compatible JUWEL aquariums. Before any work, it is essential to disconnect the power supply and follow the manufacturer's assembly instructions.
For maintenance, a slightly damp soft cloth is sufficient to clean the outer surface. Abrasive products and solvents should be avoided to preserve the protective glass and the components of the light unit.
With the UniversalFit support, installation exclusively on an open aquarium is mandatory to prevent excessive moisture accumulation.
