Aqua Illumination Blade Glow Actinic

AquaIllumination Blade Coral Glow LED Light

The AquaIllumination Blade Coral Glow is a slim, high-output reef aquarium LED designed specifically to enhance coral fluorescence and bring out the vivid colours that make reef tanks stand out.

Rather than focusing primarily on broad-spectrum growth, the Blade Glow concentrates its output in the violet, UV and royal blue ranges that stimulate fluorescent pigments in corals. It is ideal as a supplementary light alongside the Blade Grow or as an addition to an existing reef lighting system where more fluorescence and colour intensity are desired.

Key Features

• Designed specifically to enhance coral fluorescence
• Strong violet, UV and royal blue output
• Ideal as a supplement to AI Blade Grow
• Can also be added to existing reef lighting systems
• Slim, low-profile design
• Broad and even light distribution
• Suitable for marine and reef aquariums
• Available in lengths from 12" to 66"
• Multiple mounting options available
• M8 mounting threads on both ends

Fluorescence-Focused Spectrum

The Blade Glow is designed around wavelengths known for exciting fluorescent pigments in corals.

Its spectrum concentrates output in the lower blue and upper UV ranges, helping corals display brighter greens, oranges, reds and other fluorescent tones under reef lighting.

This makes it especially useful for aquarists who want to increase visual fluorescence without dramatically changing the overall white balance of the aquarium.

LED Configuration

Each Blade Glow cluster contains 24 LEDs:

• 12 × Royal Blue
• 6 × 430 nm
• 3 × 415 nm
• 3 × 405 nm

This combination provides strong output across the violet and blue spectrum, helping create the deep actinic appearance commonly associated with coral fluorescence.

Sizes & Power

The AquaIllumination Blade Coral Glow is available in:

• 12" – 20W
• 21" – 40W
• 30" – 60W
• 39" – 80W
• 48" – 100W
• 57" – 120W
• 66" – 140W

This range allows the Blade Glow to be matched to nano reefs through to large display aquariums.

Pair with Blade Grow

The Blade Glow works particularly well alongside the Blade Coral Grow.

The Blade Grow provides a broader coral-growth-focused spectrum, while the Blade Glow adds extra violet and UV output to increase fluorescence and create a deeper actinic appearance.

Together, the two fixtures allow you to balance coral growth, colour rendition and visual fluorescence to suit your reef.

Flexible Mounting Options

The Blade platform supports multiple mounting configurations, including:

• Elevated Tank Mount
• Blade Hanging Kit
• Hybrid Mount for AI Hydra or EcoTech Radion setups
• M8 mounting threads for custom installations

The AquaIllumination Blade Coral Glow is an excellent choice for reef aquarists wanting to add stronger fluorescence, richer actinic colour and a more dramatic visual appearance to their coral display.
