Aqua Illumination Prime 16HD LED - Black

Aqua Illumination Prime 16HD LED - Black Overview

The Aqua Illumination Prime 16HD LED - Black is a compact, app-controlled reef aquarium light designed for nano reefs, smaller marine aquariums, frag systems, and supplemental reef lighting applications. Despite its small footprint, the Prime 16HD Reef delivers full-spectrum output, HyperDrive channel control, TIR lens optics, dedicated moonlight, and wireless programming through the Mobius app.

With a 24 in. x 24 in. spread and a peak PAR rating of 100 micromol at a depth of 24 in., the Prime 16HD is a powerful choice for small to medium reef aquariums when matched properly to tank size, coral placement, mounting height, and livestock requirements. Its compact body, black finish, and flexible mounting compatibility make it one of the most versatile reef LEDs available for clean, modern aquarium installations.

Aqua Illumination Prime 16HD LED - Black Features

• Compact reef LED platform: Small fixture size makes it ideal for nano reef aquariums, desktop reefs, cube tanks, frag tanks, and supplemental lighting setups.
• Full-spectrum reef output: Includes blue, royal blue, cool white, violet, UV, red, green, and moonlight channels for flexible reef lighting control.
• HyperDrive technology: Redirects unused power from one LED channel to another, allowing more control over spectrum and output than fixed-channel lighting systems.
• TIR lens optics: Designed to balance power and spread with more than 90 percent optical efficiency and a diffuse exit surface for improved colour blending.
• 24 in. x 24 in. spread: Provides broad coverage for appropriately sized reef aquariums and supplemental lighting applications.
• Dedicated moonlight channel: Produces natural low-level nighttime illumination for lunar-style viewing and softer day-to-night transitions.
• Mobius app control: Program schedules, intensity, colour channels, acclimation, moonlight, and presets from a compatible iOS or Android device.
• myAI compatibility: Also works with the myAI app for users already using AquaIllumination's legacy control environment.
• Neptune Apex integration: Can be integrated into Neptune Fusion control when used with a compatible Apex system and MXM module.
• Multiple mounting options: Compatible with Prime Tank Mount, Prime Hanging Kit, and Prime Flex Arm mounting accessories.
