Spectrum
A balance of blue and white diodes efficiently addresses the photosynthetic needs of coral. The Blade Grow delivers output in the deep blue through a blue range of the spectrum (400-500 nm) which is proven to be a highly effective marine spectrum range.
LEDs (per cluster)
The AI Blade utilizes a cluster group configuration. Each Blade size includes roughly one cluster group per foot. Tight grouping and balanced diode placement contribute to the incredible balance and shimmer that the Blade platform delivers. The Blade Coral Grow includes the following 24 diodes per cluster group.
Build Your Own Solution
The beauty of Blade is its versatility. Used alone the Blade Coral Grow provides an excellent source of tuned light for your marine aquarium. Attractive and powerful, an adjustable but easy spectrum ensures great coral growth. Edgefield Optics delivers well-mixed color and super even spread while preserving the caustics that make your tank sparkle.
Blade Coral Grow is designed for maximum PAR efficiency and Blade Coral Glow is designed for maximum fluorescence. Mix them together and get the best of both. Peak performance is best achieved in a ratio of 2:1 Grow to Glow, but one of each is perfectly acceptable when less light is needed.
Love the fill of a large fixture and the vibrance of a pendant? Embrace full spectrum for daytime but want to see a glowing sunset? Have great lights already but want to fill in some gaps or pop fluorescence? The blade has you covered. Easily usable with your existing Radion or Hydra fixtures and so easily mountable that they will work with many others, go ahead, and customize your aquarium lighting your way!
Bright-Sized
The Blade Coral Grow, Blade Coral Glow and Blade Freshwater are available in 7 different sizes from 12" all the way up to 66". Regardless of tank size or application, Blade has you covered.
Silent Running
The Blade incorporates a highly efficient heat sink design. Passive cooling means no fan and no air moment or fan noise. This makes the Blade ideal for lighting aquariums in living spaces where less noise is a big plus.
Simple Built-in Control
All AI devices include smart control standards. Use the myAI® app on any iOS or Android device to easily set up or program your AI equipment right out of the box. Mobius control coming soon which will allow these lights to be controlled with your Ecotech gear and with the MXM inside your apex.
EdgeField™ Optics
Optics are one of the most important components of an advanced lighting system. Edgefield™ technology incorporated in the Blade delivers even PAR, smooth color mixing and exceptional spread.
Edgefield optics, designed exclusively for the Blade, provide an incredible, 95 degree spread while achieving unmatched light mixing along the length of the blade. The specular exit surface presents a crisp and natural shimmer in your aquarium.
Tank Rest Included
For Blades sized up to 39.1 inches, the Low Profile Tank Rest is included. The tank rest extends up to 4.5 inches on either side of the blade (for a total of 9 inches).
For Blades over 39.1 inches, Blade Mounting Clips are included. These clips are compatible with the AI HMS Single-Arm and HMS Hanging Kit rails. Different application? No problem, the Blade has many other mounting options available, or use the clips with your custom mount.
Water Resistant
The blade is not only versatile but built to last in the harsh environment of marine aquariums. Blade meets IP66 standards which indicate the highest protection against particles and a high level of protection against water.
