Hi all,
I am new to the website, but I have found loads of interesting information here that helped me with my planted aquarium, but I have a query and I can't find the answer anywhere.
I bought from my LFS an ADA Aquasky at a very good price ( £100 ) and I was very happy with it, but my cat decided to play with the light while I was away and dropped half of the light into the aquarium. I thought all the fish were all dead and the light was completely destroyed but I was surprised to see that the fish were alive and the led that managed to stay dry were still working.
Now is time for the query..... I am fairly good in DIY and electric stuff and I was wondering can i replace the burned LED with other similar LED or exactly the same LED if I can buy them?
Also I know that LED used for planted aquarium are usually not all the same colour to cover all the spectrum needed by the plant for photosyntesis but there is no information on what it has been used on the Aquasky, does it means that all the LED and the Aquasky are exactly the same ? I can't find anywhere the exact specs of the LED, the manual that came with the aquasky has only this information :
Input voltage : AC 100-240V 50/60Hz
Power consumption: 22W
Current consumption : 650mA±5%
Luminous flux: 1,800-2,160lm
Colour temperature :Around 7000K (Due to the nature of the LED lighting, there are variation in colour temperature )
LED : 0.4W/ each X45
I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Bradipo
