RGBW Full-Spectrum Lighting

The AQ-S II uses a four-channel RGBW lighting system, combining red, green, blue, and white LEDs. Each colour channel can be adjusted to provide considerably more control than a conventional aquarium light with a fixed spectrum.

This allows aquarists to fine-tune the visual appearance of the aquarium while providing a broad spectrum suitable for planted freshwater aquariums. Green foliage can appear fresh and vibrant, red plants can display greater visual contrast, and the natural colours of fish, stone, and driftwood can be presented beautifully.

The ability to adjust the individual RGBW channels also means the appearance of the aquarium can be customized according to personal preference rather than being restricted to a single predetermined colour temperature.

AQ Star Smart App Control

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

The app allows aquarists to customize their lighting rather than relying on simple on/off operation. Depending on the selected control mode, users can adjust spectrum, intensity, lighting duration, and daily transitions.

• Fast Setting: Quickly establish your preferred lighting and daily schedule.
• Professional Setting: Fine-tune spectrum and lighting periods for a more customized planted aquarium setup.
• Manual Mode: Make direct lighting and colour adjustments.
• Preset Settings: Save preferred lighting configurations for convenient reuse.
• Group Control: Manage compatible LEDSTAR lighting together when using multiple fixtures.

Programmable Sunrise & Sunset

Instead of instantly switching between darkness and full output, the AQ-S II can be programmed with gradual sunrise and sunset transitions. This provides a much more refined lighting experience while allowing the aquarium's photoperiod to operate automatically each day.

Consistent scheduling is particularly useful in planted aquariums, where maintaining a controlled photoperiod is an important part of balancing plant growth and algae management.

IP68 Construction

Aquarium lighting operates in an environment where humidity, condensation, and accidental splashing are unavoidable considerations. The AQ-S II features an IP68-rated design, providing a high level of protection against dust and moisture.

This makes the AQ-S II particularly well suited to the demanding environment immediately above an aquarium.

Premium 6063 Aluminum Body

The AQ-S II is constructed using 6063 aluminum, a material well suited to aquarium lighting because of its combination of thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, strength, and clean appearance.

The aluminum housing assists with heat dissipation while allowing LEDSTAR to maintain the slim, minimalist profile that complements modern rimless planted aquariums.

Product Specifications

Clean Acrylic Mounting Legs

The AQ-S40 II, AQ-S60 II, and AQ-S90 II supplied by Aquascaperoom include LEDSTAR's acrylic mounting legs. The transparent construction keeps the mounting hardware visually unobtrusive and helps create the appearance of the slim aluminum fixture floating cleanly above the aquarium.

This is particularly attractive on rimless planted aquariums, where minimizing visible mounting hardware helps keep attention focused on the aquascape itself.

Please note: the AQ-S120 II uses alluminum leg mounting arrangement due to the larger size of the fixture.

Which AQ-S II Should I Choose?

Choose your AQ-S II primarily according to the length of your aquarium. The AQ-S40 II is designed for compact aquariums, the AQ-S60 II suits the extremely popular 60 cm aquarium format, the AQ-S90 II provides coverage for larger 90 cm layouts, and the AQ-S120 II extends the series to substantial 120 cm planted aquariums.

Aquarium depth, mounting height, plant selection, CO₂ availability, desired intensity, and aquascape layout should also be considered when selecting and configuring your lighting.
