LED aquarium lighting for salt- and fresh water aquaria
Programmable light control for sunrise/fall, moonlight and cloud flying.
The aquasunLED is modularly constructed. Each LED module consists of 50 high-power LEDs 1
Watt each (15 x 1 watt blue and 35 x 1 watt 12,000 K) with a total power of app. 50 watt. The new
aquasunLED is available either as 100 watt (2 modules) or 150 watt (3 modules) version. The
light is equipped with a programmable computer control. The light channels for white LEDs, blue
LEDs, moonlight and cloud flying are separately controllable and make a natural lighting possible.
Even a cycle for moonlight phases is taken into account.
The housing is made of powder-coated and saltwater resistant aluminium.

•
•
aquasunLED
steel cable suspension aquafit II
USB stick incl. programmes
3. Safety advices
•
The lighting system cannot be used as aquarium cover. It has to be mounted only above the
aquarium. The minimum distance between lighting and aquarium must be at least 30 cm.
•
The housing may become hot during operation. Be cautious when touching it!
•
For cleaning, disconnect the lighting system from the mains and let it cool down. Afterwards,
take the lighting down.
•
When cleaning, take care that no humidity enters the interior of the lighting system!
•
Pay attention to a sufficient thermal exchange. Do not mount the system in enclosures or
behind panels. Missing aeration may result in overheating and damage the electric components.
•
Do not try to repair the lighting system (LEDs, electronic parts). Please send it in for checking,
preferably with a list of defects. Even broken LEDs can only be changed by the manufacturer.
•
When working on the light, always pull all power plugs.

4. Installation
The light can be fixed at the ceiling with the attached steel cable suspension.
The cable suspension system provides a neat and simple method of ceiling mounting of
aquasunLED and other suitable lights.
Contents:
The suspension system comprises 2 pcs. of each of the following:
1. Ceiling plate with screws and plugs, 2 metre stainless steel cable with stopper
2. Light fixing (cable with Y-piece and end bushes)
Mounting:
The two ceiling plates (1.1) must be securely screwed to the ceiling by using the screws and plugs.
Suitable screws and plugs are provided but you should ensure your ceiling is capable of holding the
weight of the light in this way. The distance between the two suspension points at the ceiling must
be 85 cm (100 W version) resp. 125 cm ((150 W version).
Stainless steel cable: The stainless steel cable is now fed through the retaining bush (1.3) of the
ceiling plate so that the stopper (1.2) is retained inside the ceiling plate. The retaining bush is
screwed onto the ceiling plate allowing the stainless steel cable to hang free.
Fixing of the light:
The stainless steel cable has to be drawn through the light fixing of the Y-piece. To do so, the cable
is fed through the fixing from the top (2.1.1). It is drawn through the side opening (2.1.2) and
then it has to be pulled until the lamp is in the correct height above the aquarium. As soon as the
light is adjusted in the right position, tighten the safety bolt (2.2) to avoid a canting of the lamp.
Release the fixing:
The light fixing has a non-return mechanism so that the cable can easily be adjusted. To remove
the light or re-ajdust the height, press the adjustment screw (2.1.1). – Caution: Hold the light
tight! Now, the stainless steel cable can be pulled out of the light fixing.
When the light is mounted in the correct position, any surplus cable may be cut off by pliers.
Pay attention to the required minimum distance of 30 cm to the water surface!
In course of time, even stainless steel could corrode by humid ambient air. Therefore,
check the steel cables regularly and replace them, if necessary.

4.1 Assembling/changing the LEDs
In case of faulty LEDs, the aquasunLED has to be returned to the manufacturer.
Electric connection:
The aquasunLED can be connected to any safety socket.
When working on the light, always pull all power plugs!
4.2. Programme setting
Light control:
-
USB-connection for PC
Software „DimEdit“ is included, no installation on the PC is required.
Nine control programmes are pre-programmed that can be changed with the included software
„DimEdit“ individually. A software update is possible online.
Four separately programmable and dimmable channels for white LEDs, blue LEDs, moonlight
und cloud flying.
The aquasunLED has got an integrated programmable timer. The light is pre-programmed.
Changes can be made directly at the clock or by the USB-cable at the PC. The included USB-stick
contains the programme for the installation on the computer. Furthermore, the programme is
available for download under the following link:
Link for downloading the current software:

Link for downloading the ZIP containing the 10 current sample programmes that are already preprogrammed in the clock.

4.2.1. Programming via the clock
Fig. 2: Clock of the aquasunLED
The clock lighting can be switched on by the light key (5). By the menu key, the individual
parameters such as time, programmes, percentage are reached that can be changed by the + and
– keys.
Nine programmes (4) are pre-adjusted that can only be changed at the computer. By the menu
key, the individual programmes are reached by pressing the + and – keys. In the same way, time
(1), density of light in per cent (3) and the respective moon phase (2) can be adjusted. The
brightness of the pre-set programme can be changed by the per cent adjustment (3). If it is set
from 100% to 50%, the density of light is halved. The percentages given in the programme are not
affected by it in detail. The entire programme is modified according to the selected proportional
indication.
Also, the data of the moon light control given in the programme cannot be changed by the clock.
However, it can be specified which moon cycle is to be present on a selected day. The moon cycle
covers 28 days for the sake of simplicity, which does not correspond precisely to the reality. If one
selects for example day 14, full moon is on the day concerned.

4.2.2. Programming on the computer
Fig. 4: Programme DimEdit (course of programme 8)
17
Fig. 5: Opening the programmes in DimEdit
The programmes in DimEdit can be opened either by one double click of the left mouse
button or by one click and a second click on the button „opening“.
Copy DimEdit as well as the associated programmes for the light control of the USB stick provided
into a file on the hard disk of your computer. The programme can be started without further
installation.
By the button „loading“ the light programmes included in delivery (Fig. 5) can be opened. By
clicking and holding the left mouse button, curves can be created. Times and percentages are
indicated in the lower, light blue bar. The programme is divided in white, blue, clouds and moon.
With 100%, maximum brightness is shown. During cloud flying, 100% would be the maximum
possible cloud darkening. With the controller for cloud’s speed it can be adjusted how often the
random generator builds new cloud formations.
Description of the programmes (Fig. 3):
Programme 0:
White starts at 7:30 o’clock with brightness of 32%, reaches 100% at 8:00 o’clock, is dimmed
down at 18:15 o’clock in order to end at 18.45 o’clock. Blue starts at 6:45 o’clock and ends at
19:15 o’clock, the dimming process is the same as with white. No moonlight and no moon phase.
Programme 1:
Same as programme 0, but other times of start and end than with the blue light.
18
Programme 2:
Corresponds to programme 1 that was complemented by a moonlight shining constantly with 5%
power during the dark phase.
Programme 3:
Same as programme 2 but with 10% moonlight.
Programme 4:
Same as programme 3, but instead of constant moonlight a moon phase with 5%.
Programme 5:
Same as programme 3, but instead of constant moonlight a moon phase with 10%.
Programme 6:
Same as programme 2, plus cloud flying between 10:30 and 16:00 o’clock with 12 to 40% cloud
darkening.
Programme 7:
Same as programme 6, but with 5% moonlight.
Programme 8:
Same as programme 7, but with a moon phase of 5% (see Fig. 4).
Programme 9:
Without programming.
If there should be full moon on a certain day, this can only be adjusted at the clock (see chapter
4.2.1).
The programs can be changed by loading them with DimEdit, modify and then store them under
the same or a new name.
If the aquasunLED is connected to the computer via the USB cable provided, this will appear as
separate drive.
