Here is what the web site said about the UFo lights
For years one strives around one if possible nature near lighting of aquariums. While on the one hand in the last years the possibilities became ever better by more suitable shining means, on the other hand in the same period also the realizations grew over the needs of the plants and animals, so that new challenges are placed against the technology.
Particularly in the Meerwasseraquaristik substantial realizations were added over the Haelterungsbeduerfnisse and breed, so that it is not sufficient now any longer, to pay attention however to the correct daylight. Now also necessarily the influence of the night light and the moon cycles are to be considered, if one wishes nature near simulation and e.g. wants to energize the sexual vermehrung of the korallen.
Beyond that also requirements of the owner are to be satisfied, both in view to the optical organization of the lighting, and concerning the control friendliness of the switching functions of the different sources of light. At the same time the aquarium is to remain well accessible despite many sources of light for maintenance work.
All these factors, both for the aquarium inhabitants and for the owner the exclusive aquarium lighting becomes UFO COMPLET fairly.
It represents a unique combination of fulfilment of optimal requirements for light for day and night, and servicefreundlichkeit in this form, since by tiltable light parts best accesibility is not reached to the aquarium and by the owner any switching times to be programmed is. A complete simulator routine for day and night is not necessary any programs and adjusting Uhrzeite without light life!
Special meaning is attached to this law of nature, if biotopes and nature cycles in aquariums are placed behind.
Sufficient and above all suitable light is for the well-being of plants and animals a basic condition, plants can only with suitable light carbon from C0 2 (carbonic acid) win, in order to use it as component.
Special meaning is attached to the light in sea water aquariums, since there usually photo-sensitive animals are held such as korallen, the light energy needs, in order to win from it their food by conversion to amino acids.
The special characteristic of the seawater changes substantially the chromatic spectrum of the incident sunbeams dependent on the penetration depth. It is remarkable that the color can penetrate blue furthest the water, while red color portions are filtered already in the first meters. To these changed lighting conditions in the depths settled adapted to low animals in the course of the evolution perfectly and their organism on optimal power consumption furnished.
The relationship between the red and blue colors of light is expressed to each other in degrees of Kelvin. Low Kelvin numbers betray little blue part, high Kelvin numbers mean much blue part.
In addition one must know that the natural sunlight on the water surface approx. 6000 degrees of Kelvin has, whereby in a depth around 10 m the double value (12000 K) is already reached. Since our aquariums are usually under 1 m height, these color temperatures cannot form in aquariums, but one must use shining means, which have a color temperature from approx. 8000 to 12000 K for the naturenear simulation and successful care.
Although with the unit Kelvin the relationship of the red and blue light portions is expressed to each other, the value does not define the color impression. In other words of a source of light with e.g. 10 000K not, but green, blue or rosa is assigned to a defined color can be.
In this connection it is pointed out that the common use of lux is completely unsuitable as yardstick for the evaluation of an aquarium lighting, since lux does not refer to the total spectral region, but only on the spectral portions, to which we react to humans particularly photo-sensitively. Our aquarium lighting is aligned not to the requirements of humans, but to the needs of the low animals (sea waters) and/or the plants (fresh water), and those is evenly completely different!
Therefore also measuring of a lighting is not expressive for the examination of aging with a lux meter, there certain, straight spectral portions important for the aquarium not to be seized.
During a check measurement of a source of light a change of the lux value hardly shows up, although the light composition changed negatively clearly from the output color.
For the conclusion of this general view it is pointed out that there are many photometric parameters (lux, RA index, Kelvin...). None this parameter is to be judged however sufficiently suitably around a light for the aquarium lighting, since all were created these parameters for human vision.
STRUCTURE
UFO COMPLET consists of 3 light bodies, which are tiltable connected to a unit. In the center section all important parts are accommodated. These are one microprocessor light control, 2 halogen metal steam burners, and 2 moon lights, which from the control not only moon-phasedly operate (daily rising and/or falling light intensity), but also as a over over assistanceover assistance for the gentle regulation of the sun up and fall serve.
The fluorescent tubes additionally in the mobile seitenfluegeln (WINGS) serve for the optimization of the lighting conditions and for the simulation of the dawn phases, which are regulated accordingly also by the light control.
CONTROL
For simplification for the user and for the prevention of a multiplicity of cables for the control UFO COMPLET contains a light control, which automatically regulates the daily and expiration of night including the simulation of the coming up and going down moon of different sources of light, so that no attitudes of switching times are necessary
With that the light starts the simulator routine attaches automatically, whereby thereby the morning with sunrise is defined. (to principle see zeitdiagramm)
With on the top side switch present, which is to be served for security only with the screwdriver, also a Economic stage can be used by the user apart from 3 core times for the day (6, 8 or 10 hours of sun), which is meaningful then, if on particularly hot days the energy entry is to be reduced, in order to prevent a rise of the water temperature. During this switching position the halogen metal steam burners are not activated. As sunlight replacement now the integrated 2 moon lights under full load with 2 x 150W are operated for 6 hours. The day/night simulator routine is not disturbed thereby in the expiration, and it can be switched at any time to normal operation.
The switching position a/from, does not switch the function off of the light. It affects only the metal steam burners simulating the sun, so that these can be in addition-switched or switched off independently of the automatic routine of the day alternatively.
All functions of UFO COMPLET are really switched off only if this is separate from the net. With the renewed connection to the net the program is again again started, whereby the mondphasen in the switching position A/FROM with the counting method with the 1. Begin phase (15 days to full moon and 15 days to neumond). In the switching position the mondphase advances ECO, 6, 8 or 10 one day after the last active phase.
It is possible by repeated in and plugging off of the plug to go on a desired mondphase. Are From tracing at least 5 seconds to be kept and the switching position on 6 to adjust 8 or 10 hours.
A resetting on the 1. Day knows the unique in and plugging off with the switching position A/FROM, and
the mains cable take place.
For the avoidance of malfunctionings control electronics contains a protective circuit, which bridges stromschwankungen and/or brief power failures up to 2 seconds.
