Meridian Key Features:

Daisy Chaining: Multiple Meridians and Meridian Edge can be connected to a single power supply, supporting up to 600 watts of total power draw. Refer to the chart below for possible combinations. Three types of cables are available:

• Solo Connector: Designed to link one Meridian to the next in a series.

• Dual Edge Connector: Designed to connect one Meridian to two Edge Bars.

• Quad Edge Connector: Designed to connect up to four Edge Bars to a single power supply.

 

 

     

    Ocular Holo Matrix (OHM) Optics:

    Meridian OHM Optics are easy to swap out and come in three models, each tailored for different aquarium setups:

    • Balance: The default lens included with the Meridians, designed for aquariums ranging from 12” to 36” (45-90cm) in depth.
    • Focus: Provides the narrowest light cone, ideal for aquariums 24” (60cm) and deeper or paired with Edge bars on advanced setups. 
    • Encompass: Features a wider spread, perfect for shallow tanks under 18” (45cm) in depth, frag tanks, or for covering a larger area of low-light corals in deeper tanks.

       

       Dual-Panel Control:

      The Meridian 24 and larger sizes offer independent control for two sections of the light, allowing a single bar to run at varying intensities. This feature provides greater flexibility in coral placement, enabling you to position low-light corals in different areas of the aquarium, rather than being limited to the bottom, and high-intensity corals in other spots besides just the top.

       

      Integrated Connection System (ICS) Link Rails

      The Meridian features our new Integrated Connection System (ICS) Link Rails, enabling users to connect multiple Meridian lights of all sizes seamlessly. This system allows for the assembly of several smaller units, like the 11s, to create the appearance of a single, elongated light from a side profile. Alternatively, users can connect larger units like the 63s and adjust their spacing. Whether the lights are positioned closely together or spread apart, the ICS link rails maintain a unified look across the configuration.

       

       

      More Wattage

      On average, the Meridian delivers 25% higher wattage than a similarly sized Photon model.

      Controllability

      Offering multiple control options, including manual control, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz), and soon, 0-10V compatibility. This ensures that these lights remain fully controllable no matter the circumstances—there will always be a way.

       

       

       

      New Spectrum

       Our new advanced spectrum has been meticulously refined to eliminate unnecessary reds and greens while reducing overall white light intensity, resulting in a more efficient and balanced output. We've expanded the spectrum to include 435 nm and 400 nm wavelengths, diving deeper into the UV and violet ranges for enhanced performance. Warm whites have also been introduced to replace the reduced red spectrum, allowing for higher white light settings without overpowering the blues and violets. This balanced approach ensures that none of the channels overpower the others when set at the same intensity, providing more usable power across the entire spectrum. The result is not only a more powerful and aesthetically pleasing light but also a superior spectrum for optimal coral growth and vibrant coloration.

       

       

      New App

       

      Discover the enhanced capabilities of the new Meridian app, designed with a user-friendly interface and continuous updates. Key features include a real-time moonlight mode that replicates lunar conditions based on your location, and an automated acclimation mode that gradually adjusts light intensities, with reminders to monitor coral health and automatic reversion if needed. The app supports multiple languages and allows for customization of color channels, enabling you to personalize both the appearance and names of these channels in manual control mode, ensuring a truly tailored and efficient aquarium management system.

       

      Power Management

       

      Features right-angle power cords and discreet wire holders, streamlining power management to be simple, efficient, and neatly organized.

       

       

      More LED's

      Features 100% more UV/Violet than Photons, 33% more Royal Blue compared to Photons.

      Articulating Edge Mounts

      Up to two Meridian Edge units can be attached to a Meridian using articulating mounts that connect through the front and rear T-Track mounting channels. These mounts can be adjusted to various angles to achieve optimal coverage.

       

      Custom LED Layout

      Recognizing that no single lighting spectrum can suit every aquarium, we offer the flexibility of custom LED layouts for those requiring a specific spectrum tailored to their unique conditions. Simply visit our website, choose your preferred configuration for 3W and 5W LED spots, and we will craft a spectrum precisely as you envision. This includes the possibility of selecting colors not usually available in our standard lineup. Please be aware that choosing exotic colors outside our standard range will come at a higher cost due to their specialized nature.
