The LEDSTAR AQ-X60 is a flagship aquarium lighting system designed for serious planted aquariums and professional aquascaping. Combining powerful WRGB illumination with 660 nm far-red LEDs, advanced optical technology, and Bluetooth smart control, the AQ-X60 delivers exceptional colour rendering and lighting flexibility.
Designed for suspended installation, the AQ-X60 features a broad lighting surface that provides impressive coverage across planted layouts. Whether you're creating a lush Nature Aquarium, a colourful Dutch-style aquascape, or a competition-inspired display, the AQ-X60 offers the output and control required for demanding applications.
The AQ-X60 is a suspension-only light and cannot rest directly on the aquarium rim.
Ceiling Suspension: Hanging cables are included with the light for installation from a suitable overhead mounting point.
Optional AQ-HK Hanging Arm Kit: Prefer not to mount the light from your ceiling? Choose the AQ-HK Hanging Arm Kit to suspend the AQ-X60 above your aquarium using a compatible aquarium-mounted support system.
What distinguishes the AQ-X60 from conventional WRGB aquarium lights is its incorporation of 660 nm far-red LEDs alongside its primary lighting channels.
This additional spectral component provides greater flexibility when fine-tuning the lighting environment of a planted aquarium. Combined with the AQ-X60's powerful WRGB output, it allows aquascapers to highlight vibrant red stem plants, rich green foliage, and the natural textures of stones and driftwood.
With a maximum rated power of 140W and 9,350 lumens of output, the AQ-X60 is designed for high-performance planted aquarium applications.
Its broad illuminated surface helps distribute light across foreground carpets, midground planting, and taller background stems. The suspended design also allows mounting height to be adjusted to suit the aquarium's dimensions and desired coverage.
The AQ-X60 connects to the LEDSTAR AQ Star App using Bluetooth 5.0, allowing convenient control from a compatible mobile device.
Customize individual colour channels, overall brightness, daily lighting schedules, and gradual sunrise and sunset transitions. These controls make it easier to adapt the lighting to your plants, CO2 supplementation, and preferred aquascape presentation.
