AI Hydra 64HD LED – Aqua Illumination

Description

More Color, More Spread, More Power, and More Refined

A new generation of Aqua Illumination Hydra lighting is here! The Hydra 64 HD has been redesigned making the reef lights more efficient with better aesthetics. The Hydra Lights have been a staple in the reefing community for years and the new Hydra 64 HD Lights take the same great features and benefits while using more efficient hardware that ultimately gives better light and spread throughout your aquarium.

• Easy Control with the MyAI App
• More LEDs
• More PAR
• More Spread
• Improved Optic Design
• Improved Water Resistance
• Thinner Form Factor
• Multiple Mounting Options
• Dedicated Moonlight Channel
• Wider Spectrum (more channels)

Design

Redesigning the plastics in the Prime and Hydra lineup has resulted in two majorbenefits: better efficiency and better aesthetics. Efficiency improvements reduce thedemands on active cooling for longer component life. Improvements to design thin thefixtures and reduce their profile and presence over your aquarium.

Resilient

Water-resistance is a major benefit in aquarium lighting – and while the new Prime andHydras are not waterproof, design improvements make them more capable of facingthe moisture-rich adventures of reef keeping.

Moonlight

A dedicated moonlight LED and channel has been added in the new Prime HD, PrimeFW, Hydra 32HD and Hydra 64HD modules. This allows for independent moonlightingdesigned to simulate the natural lunar color and intensity.

Control

Control on the lights will use the existing myAI app which is free, simple and veryquick to a program offering onsite direct BLE connection through your smart device.Additional control options may become available for the new generation Prime andHydras over time.

Optics and Output

Output in terms of PAR, color mixing and spread are all improved with the new fixtures.The incorporation of more LEDs results in a more targeted full-spectrum, TIR lensesshape the lights output and improve its efficiency. The result is more color POP as wellas a slightly wider output area and higher average PAR. A combination LED placementand lens geometry blend the light from the clusters so that color separation is furtherreduced.

The Hydra 64HD delivers more output with a higher average PAR than any other AI Module.

HDAIs popular HD functionality, through which a user can route power not in use byone color channel into another color channel is a much-loved feature on the previousgeneration HD fixtures. As the new product names imply (Prime 16HD, Hydra 32HD, and64HD) all the new HD lights retain this exciting feature.

Mounting

Mounting hardware as previously available for Hydra and Prime fixtures will work with
the new version lights. The exception is the Hydra-Flex arm which will require a different light bracket due to the size difference in the new fixtures. The Flex arm bracket willchange with the new fixtures. Older flex arms being used to mount the new lights willneed a new light bracket.
