Focustronic Solartronic the ultimate reeftank LED system
Basic Specification:
- 280W full spectrum LED reef fixture with dynamic motion (2 axis)
- +/- 24 degrees for each axis, mimicking the sun’s travel across the reef with blanket lighting
- Powered by ReefBrite’s industry-leading XHO LED strips and cluster
- Different lighting profiles (spectrum, intensity, and angles) for each day of the week (7 days, 7 different profiles)
- 8 individually controlled lighting channels (XHO, Cool White, Blue, Royal Blue x 2, Photo Red, Green, UV)
- Wifi iOS and/or Android app with cloud access
- Dimension: 52 cm (L) x 39 cm (W) and 11.2 cm at the highest point (middle)
Feature Highlights:
- Dynamic lighting angle prevents hotspot bleaching of corals while allowing the fixture to operate at higher (max) output to enhance colors
- Lighting should not be set and forgotten; rather, it should be a constantly changing parameter (PAR) influenced by water chemistry such as nutrients and alkalinity
- Different lighting profiles for different days of the week, and individual fixtures in a group can have unique lighting profiles for optimal light angles
- Automatic adjustment of lighting intensity based on nutrient levels. For instance, if lighting is at 70% (as defined by the user) and PO4 is at 0.1ppm, Mastertronic will adjust the lighting intensity by 10% if the new reading is 0.3 PO4. Once PO4 returns to 0.1ppm, the intensity reverts back to the default of 70%. This adjustment will also work in the opposite direction if nutrient levels are too low.
- True UV LED diodes, 365nm and 395nm
- Machined reflector for the dual cluster, providing the best spread without creating laser-like beams
Solartronic (ST) is the flagship lighting fixture from Focustronic, featuring a patented dynamic light source. The ST boasts not just one but two unique features. When paired with Mastertronic, the lighting intensity can be automatically adjusted based on nutrient or alkalinity (PO4, NO3, dKH) readings. Numerous documents confirm that higher nutrient levels should correspond to increased lighting intensity, or at least not maintain the same level as before the rise in nutrient levels. Thanks to the patented dynamic lighting feature, corals benefit from multiple angles rather than a single fixed lighting angle, creating numerous sweet spots per fixture. This not only promotes natural lighting patterns but also supports natural growth while minimizing shadowing caused by overgrown colonies. These two groundbreaking features elevate reefing automation to a level that no hobbyist has imagined until now! We have received a wealth of positive feedback and requests from various reefers who are thrilled with the Alkatronic and Dosetronic, eagerly anticipating the Solartronic release. The new lighting spectrum is the result of a collaboration with the renowned lighting brand – ReefBrite. The ST also includes ReefBrite’s most sought-after product, the XHO, which delivers exceptional color pop and light spread.
