120R1 Saltwater Aquatics LED has a little of everything

The 120R1 LED fixture from Saltwater Aquatics is an interesting light with a fairly tame design but a whole lot of different features. Seven colors of LEDs are distributed across four channels although one channel is all white, two other identical channels support the blue and royal blues and a fourth ‘cosmetic’ channel is a catch all for red, amber, green and a deep blue 420nm shade of LED.

The 99 watts of lighting power is provided by 33 x 3 watt LEDs which are supported by 90 degree lenses. The 120R1 supports automatic dimming and timing function with eight pre-installed programs to choose from, but it’s hard to tell to what degree the controller can be programmed, although it is capable of sunrise, sunset, moonlight and thunderstorm modes.

One thing that is interesting about the 120R1 LED by Saltwater Aquatics is the use of an acrylic housing to reduce weight to under five pounds with the feature set being contained within a body that is 16.4 inches long, 6.2 inches wide and under two inches thick. The basic 120R1 LED with its 99 watts of LEDs costs $450 with middle of the road Bridgelux providing ample amount of power but the fixture can be upgraded to Cree LEDs for $60. Presumably this would only apply to the blue and white LEDs and who knows if these would be of the XPG or XTE variety.

The cost and feature set of Saltwater Aquatics’ 120R1 LED is a reasonable one and it has a little bit of everything include multicolor, timer and controlling options. This light is obviously an OEM device which doesn’t necessarily undercut the established brand name players with more market share and industry presence. However, the simplicity of the 120R1 LED light might appeal to some users who want to tinker with the diodes, lenses or the controller. [Saltwater Aquatics]

    Hi this is Wallace with Saltwater Aquatics Leds I see Brad had a question? We are partnered with Lumini Tech this we are not hiding like other LED manufactures will do. We clearly state this in are about us section of our website. I also want you to know that this is our design of the layout and controller specs. If you read on Lumini Tech they clearly show we are a USA distributor for them and if you read there light specs on the Lumini website they are different as well. We are working with them to develop a better product for the US at this current time. We have made so many modifications to these lights for them to make them even better. Luminitech is also making big changes in the company as far as who they sell to in the US. They are becoming more and more aware of the fake businesses in the USA market that are renaming there lights as there own. We do not put our logo on these light we allow Lumini to keep there logo on them because they did all the hard work developing the light and we just modified it for them that just seems fair to me.

    I’m more than happy to answer anyone’s questions on the light you can call me at any time at 217-371-4616.

    Also if you are a retailer and interested in being a distributor please contact me or feel free to contact Daniel at Luminitech and tell him Saltwater aquatics is where you heard of there product and they will give you a great price on the light. You will need to provide them with your location and business name along with contact info.

    Please note that in order to be a distributor you must be a retail business with all the proper paper work, an online seller with all the proper paper work, or if your a aquaculture facility with all the proper paper work. They are not selling to businesses that do not have a business license, FEIN number if applies, or resale certificate. You must show your means to sell the light as in a store or website. Also they have MAP price that can not be sold under or your account will be terminated. You cannot rename the light we do not want a 100 different names on this fixture taking credit for the hard work of Lumini. Every part in there fixture is patented by them no one else like other fixtures. The list goes on and on.

    Please feel free to contact me anytime for additional questions thanks.
