New GHL LED light coming, including wireless control

By on Mar 29, 2012

GHL, the European based aquarium controller company is set to release a new LED lamp for the masses. We have little details about the new LED light from GHL but we have confirmed that  8 light colors will be available and all separately dimmable: ultra white, royal blue, blue, true green, yellow, red, hyperred and UV (420 nm). Each light will have 62 LEDs which breaks out to six separately replaceable LED-clusters on IMS boards. The new led light will have its own controller on board based off of a 32bit ARM chip including a graphical display and six user controlled keys. Other devices will be able to communicate with the LED lamp using USB or radio (2.4ghz) including the ProFilux III. The light will have a modern design using 300 mm (11.8″) x 200 mm (7.87″) x 40 mm (1.57″) form factor. We should expect to see the GHL LED light to be released in mid May with pricing and actual photos of the device to follow shortly thereafter.

    Thanks Ryan for the announcment.

    Release will be at Interzoo followed by dealer release shortly after.

    The important factors here is the full spectrum including 420nm and of course an array of others noted in the release below.

    after all these rumours and being permanently asked for further information by email, PMs or phone we decided to do the official announcement earlier.

    Yes, GHL will release their own LED pending lamp soon!

    After more than 2 years of development we are proud to present a modern and innovative LED-lamp, which doesn’t leave any wishes open in my opinion.
    We didn’t want to release just another LED-lamp with the usual features, we wanted to develop one of the best LED-lamps on the market!

    Here are some of the highlights – but I will not tell everything, this happens when the lamp is released officially in May!

    LEDs:
    – 8 light colors, all separately dimmable: ultra white, royal blue, blue, true green, yellow, red, hyperred and UV (420 nm)
    – 62 LEDs per lamp
    – 6 separately replacable LED-clusters on IMS boards
    – PAR: I think more than you need!

    Intelligence + Userinterface:
    – own controller (32 Bit ARM)
    – graphical display, 6 touch-Keys
    communication:
    – radio (2.4 GHz)
    – USB

    Operation modes:
    – standalone (runs autonomous)
    – master (controls other lamps wirelessly)
    – slave (is controlled from other lamps or ProfiLux wirelessly)

    Energy:
    – high-efficiency mode (max. economy and LED lifetime)
    – high output mode (max. brightness)

    Thermal management:
    – innovative cooling concept with 4 extremely quiet and compact cooling fans
    – fans are temperature controlled

    Design:
    - select out of several colors
    – fans and heatsinks are not visible from outside
    – ca. 300 mm x 200 mm x 40 mm

    Functions:
    - sliding clouds and sunrise over several lamps
    – all illumination functions of ProfiLux
    – full control over output light spectrum

    Others:
    – firmwareupdates possible
    – true dimming technology: non visible brightness steps with more than 3000 dimming steps per channel
    – incl. lamp holder
    – universal power supply with wide range input

    and much much more …

    I am quite sure it is worth to wait until May!

    That’s all I can tell at the moment.

    Can’t wait to see it! This won’t be cheap I guess!

    It has twice as many LEDs as a Radion, so I can’t imagine it’ll cost less than twice as much. If it has enough spread for to replace a couple it’ll probably be worth it with the UV.
