Features Explained

Design

Redesigning the plastics in the Prime and Hydra lineup has resulted in two majorbenefits: better efficiency and better aesthetics. Efficiency improvements reduce thedemands on active cooling for longer component life. Improvements to design thin thefixtures and reduce their profile and presence over your aquarium.

Resilient

Water resistance is a major benefit in aquarium lighting – and while the new Prime andHydras are not waterproof, design improvements make them more capable of facingthe moisture rich adventures of reef keeping.

Moonlight

A dedicated moonlight LED and channel has been added in the new Prime HD, PrimeFW , Hydra 32HD and Hydra 64HD modules. This allows for independent moonlightingdesigned to simulate the natural lunar color and intensity.

Control

Control on the lights will use the existing myAI app which is free, simple and veryquick to program offering onsite direct BLE connection through your smart device.Additional control options may become available for the new generation Prime andHydras over time.

Optics and Output

Output in terms of PAR, color mixing and spread are all improved with the new fixtures.The incorporation of more LEDs results in a more targeted full spectrum, TIR lensesshape the lights output and improve its efficiency. The result is more color POP as wellas a slightly wider output area and higher average PAR. A combination LED placementand lens geometry blend the light from the clusters so that color separation is furtherreduced.

HD

AIs popular HD functionality, through which a user can route power not in use byone color channel into another color channel is a much loved feature on the previousgeneration HD fixtures. As the new product names imply (Prime 16HD, Hydra 32HD and64HD) all the new HD lights retain this exciting feature.

Specifically Prime

The New AI Prime 16HD shares the same cluster as the Hydra 32HD and Hydra 64HD. The new Prime will be called Prime 16HD incorporating 16 LEDs (+1 Moonlight) and an all new TIR optic. The Prime Fuge and Freshwater will also get the new optic and new clusters. Existing spectrums will be achievable with all new versions of existing lights.

In addition to the Prime 16HD, Prime Fuge and Prime Freshwater there will also be a new Prime member the Prime Sol. The Prime Sol is both a nod to the heritage of the AquaIllumination brands first LED fixture and also an answer for those looking for a no frills coral growing solution.
