RGBW Full-Spectrum Aquarium Lighting

The LEDSTAR AQ-S II uses a four-channel RGBW lighting system, combining red, green, blue, and white LEDs to provide extensive control over the colour and intensity of your aquarium lighting.

Unlike conventional aquarium lights with a fixed spectrum, the AQ-S II allows each colour channel to be adjusted independently. This gives aquascapers greater flexibility when fine-tuning the visual appearance of their planted aquariums.

Green aquatic plants can appear fresh and vibrant, red plants can display enhanced visual contrast, and the natural colours of fish, rocks, and driftwood can be presented beautifully.

The adjustable RGBW channels also allow you to customize the overall lighting appearance according to your personal preferences, from bright, natural-looking illumination to warmer or cooler colour combinations.

LEDSTAR AQ Star App Control

The AQ-S II connects to the LEDSTAR AQ Star App using Bluetooth, providing convenient wireless control from a compatible mobile device.

Through the app, aquarists can adjust individual colour channels, customize brightness, program daily schedules, and create lighting transitions without relying on a separate external timer.

Available app functions include:

• Fast Setting: Quickly configure your preferred lighting and daily schedule.
• Professional Setting: Fine-tune spectrum and lighting periods for more advanced customization.
• Manual Mode: Make direct adjustments to brightness and individual colour channels.
• Preset Settings: Save preferred lighting configurations for convenient reuse.
• Group Control: Manage compatible LEDSTAR fixtures together when operating multiple lights.

Programmable Sunrise & Sunset

Instead of instantly switching between darkness and full brightness, the AQ-S II can be programmed with gradual sunrise and sunset transitions.

These transitions create a smoother visual lighting experience while allowing your aquarium's photoperiod to operate automatically each day.

Consistent lighting schedules are especially useful in planted aquariums, where balancing light intensity, photoperiod, plant growth, and nutrient availability is important for maintaining a healthy aquascape.

IP68-Rated Construction

Aquarium lighting operates in an environment where humidity, condensation, and occasional splashing are important considerations.

The LEDSTAR AQ-S II features an IP68-rated fixture design, offering a high level of protection against dust and water ingress.

This construction makes the AQ-S II well suited to the demanding environment above a freshwater aquarium.

Always follow the manufacturer's installation and electrical safety instructions. The IP rating of the fixture does not necessarily apply to external power supplies, plugs, or connections.

Premium 6063 Aluminum Body

The AQ-S II features a premium 6063 aluminum housing, selected for its combination of thermal conductivity, durability, corrosion resistance, and refined appearance.

The aluminum body assists with heat dissipation while maintaining the slim, streamlined profile that complements modern planted aquariums.

Its minimalist design keeps attention focused on the aquascape while providing the functionality expected from a modern aquarium lighting system.

Product Specifications

Minimalist Aquarium Mounting

The AQ-S II is designed to complement the clean appearance of modern freshwater aquariums.

The AQ-S60 II and AQ-S90 II supplied by Aquascaperoom include transparent acrylic mounting legs, allowing the slim aluminum fixture to sit above the aquarium with minimal visual distraction.

The larger AQ-S120 II includes aluminum mounting legs to accommodate the larger fixture.

Mounting details for the AQ-S30 II and AQ-S45 II should be verified against the supplied hardware.

Please note: Aquarium rim thickness and construction can affect mounting compatibility. If your aquarium has a plastic rim or raised frame, confirm that the mounting legs can be positioned securely before purchasing.

Which LEDSTAR AQ-S II Should I Choose?

Select your LEDSTAR AQ-S II primarily according to the length and dimensions of your aquarium.

• AQ-S30 II: Ideal size class for compact 30 cm nano aquariums and small planted layouts.
• AQ-S45 II: Designed for 45 cm aquarium layouts, providing a compact lighting option for smaller planted tanks.
• AQ-S60 II: An excellent choice for popular 60 cm planted aquariums and nature-style aquascapes.
• AQ-S90 II: Suitable size class for larger 90 cm aquariums requiring broader lighting coverage.
• AQ-S120 II: Designed for substantial 120 cm planted aquariums and larger aquascaping displays.

In addition to aquarium length, consider tank depth, width, mounting height, plant selection, CO₂ supplementation, and desired lighting intensity.

High-light carpeting plants and demanding red stem plants may require different lighting configurations than low-light aquariums containing Anubias, Bucephalandra, Java Fern, and mosses.
