daytime® backlight

LED back wall to create a magnificent background depth effect in the aquarium

daytime®“backlight Pool” especially for open aquariums, e.g. scaper tanks
daytime® “backlight JU” especially for the aquariums Lido, Rio, and Vision from JUWEL
daytime® “backlight EH” especially for the Vivaline, Proxima and Incpiria aquariums from EHEIM

You have probably already seen many beautiful aquascapes that are backlit with a light panel. The resulting 3D effect is beautiful to look at and an absolute highlight for any aquarium.

For every aquarium?

However, the majority of all aquariums have an aquarium cover and do not have the basic dimensions of an aquascaping aquarium. This means that installing a backlight has not been an option for the majority of aquariums to date.

With the daytime® backlights, precisely dimensioned to fit JUWEL and EHEIM aquariums, this is now a thing of the past!

Of course, a wide range of standard sizes for open aquariums and “pool” tanks is also available.

And typical for daytime®: customized – we manufacture and supply backlights in any size from 30 x 15 – 300 x 100 cm on request !

backlight Features

Scope of delivery

Each daytime® backlight is supplied with a power supply unit, dimming module and brackets suitable for the respective aquarium.

Aluminum frame

The sturdy frame is made of solid, anodized aluminium. Precise cutting and assembly are carried out in our own factory.

Glass size

The size is adapted precisely and to the millimeter to the respective glass dimensions of the aquarium backs.

“Invisible” brackets

Easy, tool-free installation thanks to the ingenious “latching and holding mechanism”. No visible brackets for a clean look in the front view of the aquarium.

Gradient panels

The gradient panel is made of acrylic glass with a thickness of 2 mm. This can be removed without tools and replaced with optionally available panels, e.g. in opal white.

Connecting cable

The cable outlet is deliberately routed inwards so that the backlight frame is flush with the aquarium floor (even if the footprint is larger than the aquarium!).

backlight dimming module (included)

With the manual backlight dimming module, the brightness can be optimally adjusted to the main lighting and the lighting conditions of the surroundings. It is simply plugged between the connecting cable and the power supply unit – plug & play. Operation in conjunction with a commercially available timer is recommended, which conveniently switches the backlight on and off automatically.

Mounting backlight pool

Each backlight pool is supplied with the stainless steel adhesive holders shown. The double-sided adhesive pads are ideal for bonding metal and glass, with the special feature that they can be removed without leaving any residue.

The holders are glued flush with the underside of the aquarium. Make sure that both holders are positioned horizontally and at the same height.

The backlight can simply be placed in the holder. Thanks to the ingenious weight distribution, the backlight automatically clings to the glass pane.

Mounting backlight JU

Each “JU” backlight is supplied with the polycarbonate retaining clips shown. In combination with the all-round rib of the aluminum frame, the backlight can be easily fixed in place.

The retaining clips are inserted into the open gap between the glass and the gravel cover on the right and left.

The backlight can now be positioned on the angled tabs. Even if the Juwel aquarium is close to the wall.

The backlight can now be pressed down slightly until the upper rib of the frame slides under the cover or clicks into place. The spring force of the retaining clips holds the backlight in position.

backlight telescopic stand set

40-0441_daytime backlight Teleskop-Ständer Set (7.1)

The telescopic stand set is the most convenient way to install the backlight on the back wall of an aquarium. The backlight is simply “placed” behind the aquarium with this set. The “tripod legs” are fixed to the frame profile with screw hooks. The telescopic rods enable precise, plumb alignment. Due to its own tilting force, the backlight clings to the glass surface without splat.

backlight acrylic edgeband holder set

In response to many requests, these holders for hanging were created for classic mounting. A special feature is that they are made of crystal-clear and therefore visually appealing plastic. Glass damage and unsightly traces of corrosion on the edge of the aquarium are therefore ruled out.

Suitable for glass thicknesses up to 8 mm.

1 set or 2 hooks are sufficient for backlights with a width of up to 100 cm (2 sets or 4 hooks must be used for larger backlights).
