The GHL ProfiLux II is releasing early next year with plenty of interoperability to really tap in and control your LED lighting system. The new ProfiLux unit is a good option for budget-minded reefers looking for the benefits of GHL’s ProfiLux line at a more affordable entry point. Starting at $299, they won’t have all the bells and whistles of the other ProfiLux units, but it is easier on the wallet and will have more than enough features to keep the average reefer happy. These units come primed for use with your Aqua Illumination LED or AquaRay LED fixture for really getting creative with your lighting. Need cloud cover? No problem. A fully simulated lunar cycle? Check. Water control for up to eight Tunze pumps? Done. Bad news is, the units will not be upgradable to the ProfiLux Plus II or P3. The latest unit will begin shipping in February 2010 and are available for pre-order from Aqua Digital and their retailer network or eventually directly from GHL. Stay tuned for all the “deets” after the break.
