The Lumina LED Plus T5 hybrid aquarium light from Blau Aquaristic is the first LED product to join Blau’s diverse line of Lumina aquarium lights. The Lumina LED that Blau demoed at InterZoo looked like a prototype but it’s clearly a one-off for now. The Blau Lumina LED light was clearly made from a Lumina 639, Blau’s 6 x 39 watt T5 light because we can see as much on the product sticker in the top right corner of the pic above. In addition to running the 4 x 39 watt T5 tubes, the Lumina LED also uses 36 additional LEDs with wide-angle and diffused LED light which may be able to run comfortably up to two watts each or 72 watts total, but without any active cooling to speak of so far we can’t see any more than that. We get the feeling that Blau made this light really close to InterZoo, perhaps to gauge interest and to not be left out of the LED sandbox. With Giesemann’s Matrix Plus and Helios hybrid lights being the only other worthwhile LED + T5 hybrids from the InterZoo that we would even consider, we hope that Blau Aquaristic will seize this open segment of the lighting market and give the Lumina LED Plus the kind of design and polish it deserves. More pics after the break.

    What is the advantage of hybrid LED I don’t get it. I dont want to replace bulbs if I have a choice or atleast thats the benefits of having LED.

    @ken– gives you the power, color options, low cost and efficiency of T5s with the shimmer that you get with a point source of light from the LEDs. I’d personally go with one of these over an all LED fixture right now.

    Veo un cierto “retintineo” con referencia a la posible improvisación de la pantalla “beta”, presentada por BLAU Aquaristic en Iberzoo, espero que no sea en un tono despectivo por ser su promotor Español, yo estuve tres dias en esta Feria y quede HARTO de ver prototipos que probablemente JAMAS llegaran al mercado y su acabado tenia mucho que desear, habia “engendros” de Paises tan Honorables como USA, Alemania, Italia, etc. etc. y no he visto ninguna critica al respecto, señores, seamos un poco mas serios y respetuosos.

    Saludos y felicidades por esta magnifica pagina.
