Daytime LED lights give you a choice between various light colors that help you create different moods in your aquarium, as you desire. Our article "Color temperature as a design element" is a good read on the subject, too.

In the three model series manufactured by daytime, you can choose different light colors for the different types. In the case of custom-made lighting systems of the eco series, you can choose a separate color for each LED strip. In prefabricated lights, two strips of the same light color are common. In a custom-ordered lighting system, an additional third LED strip can be installed. Here you have the opportunity to combine three different light colors in one lamp body.

In the cluster and matrix series, daytime relies on individual LED modules mounted on an aluminium heat sink. The number of modules that fit on one rail depends on the total length of the lamp. You can pick a color for each light module individually.

Various white light tones are available. Apart from that, LED lights with the color "Ultra Blue Red White" are not just equipped with white but also with red and blue diodes. With a suitable controller, you can regulate all the light colors of the matrix and cluster models (of the variant "control") individually. This allows daylight simulations with effects such as dawn and blue moonlight.

Overview of the different light colors for a freshwater aquarium:

Warm White

• warm white, sunny light
• for healthy plant growth
• slight accentuation of reddish aquatic plants and fish
• color temperature in the eco and cluster series: 2.700 K
• color temperature in the matrix series: 4.700 K

Neutral White

• neutral, slightly warm white
• for healthy plant growth
• recommended for freshwater tanks
• color temperature in eco and cluster models: 5.000 K
• color temperature in the matrix series: 6.000 K

Ultra White

• cooler white tone
• for healthy plant growth
• recommended for freshwater and marine tanks
• color temperature in eco and cluster models: 7.000 K
• color temperature in the matrix series: 8.000 K

Ultra Blue Red White

• White-blue light with red components
• intensifies the colors
• recommended for freshwater and marine tanks
• particularly suitable for African cichlid tanks (Malawi and Tanganjika)
• color temperature in eco and cluster models: 10.000 K
• color temperature in the matrix series: 440-455 nm + 620-630 nm + 8.000 K
