daytime® unix

The world’s best WRGB universal LED aquarium light!

“unix”stands for true versatility with maximum practical value for the aquarium hobby—no compromises—period!

  • Vibrant, brilliant WRGB light with “Hyper Red” 660 nm —the optimal wavelength for photosynthesis (based on the latest scientific research)
  • Four carefully selected, highly efficient full-spectrum and high-spectrum LEDs from established brand manufacturers are combined to form “WRGB sections” (instead of conventional standard WRGB LEDs)
  • 4 color channels —individually controllable with the new Smart Control SC25 > creates any desired lighting scenario
  • Efficiency: 125 lumens per watt! The world’s highest value for encapsulated or waterproof IP67 WRGB aquarium lights—By the way: The encapsulation is impact-resistant and can be polished to a crystal-clear finish
  • unix30 – unix300 > Light length in 10-cm increments from 23 to 293 cm (10–140 watts)
  • daytime® standard inline adapter system (telescopic mounts)
  • Black Edition —also available in black anodized
  • Manufacturer’s warranty > 2 years

In keeping with the daytime@ philosophy, all components of the unix system—such as the light profile, mounting adapters, power supply converters and distributors, and the lighting controls for daylight simulation—are available individually.

One, two, three, or even four unix units can be connected to and operated by, for example, a converter or a lighting control system.

Whether suspended above an open 3-meter room divider aquarium, elegantly integrated into an aquarium from a brand-name manufacturer, or securely mounted in a closed 20-liter Nano Cube—there’s a daytime® unix mount to suit every situation.

We’d be happy to help you put together the right unix lighting setup for your aquarium!

For a quick and easy solution, we’ve put together “unix Complete Sets” for the most popular aquariums and aquarium combinations on the market—the ideal way to switch to or upgrade to daytime® WRGB LED lighting.

The light size, the converter, and the mounting adapters have been carefully selected and perfectly matched. The included Smart Control SC25 leaves nothing to be desired—it’s plug-and-play!

Made in Germany.

unix Highlights

WRGB Sections

daytime® uses high-quality individual LED chips, each with excellent color rendering (rather than simple standard WRGB LEDs), which are grouped into WRGB sections. This results in a broader light spectrum for each color, rather than just individual color “peaks.”

Hyper Red 660 nm

Each unix is equipped with special red LED chips that emit light at a wavelength of 660 nm—the ideal wavelength for photosynthesis.

Plants can produce chlorophyll particularly efficiently at this wavelength, as demonstrated by the latest scientific research findings.

As an added bonus, this creates beautiful, brilliant, and deep shades of red in the aquarium!

Encapsulation – IP67 waterproof

As with all daytime® aquarium lights, the LEDs in the unix are hermetically sealed with a special full encapsulation. This encapsulation is waterproof and meets the IP67 rating.

Its impact and abrasion resistance are also particularly noteworthy. The surface can be polished to a crystal-clear finish at any time using a small amount of vinegar essence and a standard microfiber cloth, without damaging the encapsulation. A daytime® exclusive feature!

Inline Adapter System

The universal adapter set is included with every unix. The internal, extendable telescopic support rods can be adjusted to fit the size of the aquarium and locked into place.

  • Telescopic rods made of solid aluminum
  • with anti-slip guides
  • Metric threads for attaching the optionally available adapter sets

unix Adapter Sets

There are adapter sets available for both enclosed aquariums with covers and open-top pools, designed for professional installation of the unix.

unix Lighting Control Systems

Whether it’s simple, manual brightness adjustment or a realistic simulation of natural daylight—including sunrise and sunset, morning and evening twilight, moonlight, clouds, and more—daytime® offers the right solution.

Unix converters, splitters, adapters, and extension cords

The converter is the heart of the unix system. Power ratings ranging from 25 to 240 watts are available.

Splitters, extension cords, and adapter cables round out the product line.

Efficiency:

125 lm/W

Operating voltage:

24 VDC

Note: To put a unix into operation, you need a daytime® Converter (power supply), which is available in various sizes ranging from 25 W to 240 W. This must be selected separately to match the size of the unix. This means that the converter’s wattage must be at least equal to or greater than that of the unix.

A lighting controller or dimmer can be connected between the unix and the converter at any time.

Optionally, multiple unix units can be connected to a converter or a light control unit using a splitter. In this case as well, care must be taken to ensure that the total wattage of the unix units does not exceed that of the converter.
