Unique LED technology that delivers difficult spectrum!

Each model has use its dedicated LED emitter and is thoroughly focused on the spectrum!

The LED emitters VitalWaveII used

VitalWaveII has completely reviewed the specifications of the LED elements used, and has changed all the LED elements to 3.5mm. Furthermore, in order to achieve the designed spectrum within the limited number of LED elements and output constraints, the wavelength accuracy and light intensity of the LED elements were selected for each model. In addition, some of the models use LEDs manufactured by us in house, and we are very particular about achieving the target spectrum.

First, for UVA370, which complements the UV 370nm wavelength, we have adopted the strongest glass LED element with a radiant flux of over 1000mW to achieve practical UV irradiation. In addition, UV 400nm and Violet 425nm of highly durable glass LED emitters are used for Violet and Sun. In addition, the dual-chip LED emitter of 660nm+IR 680nm that Amber is equipped with has been changed from the conventional 5.0mm standard to the 3.5mm standard, and manufactured and adopted exclusively for Amber. And Plant has developed its own circuit PCB for wavelength shaping in order to be more particular about spectral reproducibility, and has adopted 400nm+425nm dual-chip LED emitters, as in the case of Amber, changing from the conventional 5.0mm standard to a 3.5mm standard, manufactured in-house exclusively for Plant.

Why does VitalWaveII work on coral fluorescent proteins?

Excitation spectra required for the emission of fluorescent proteins.

Coral fluorescent proteins have different excitation (demand) spectra depending on their luminescence color, so simply exposing them to blue light is not enough to maintain their color.

Spectrum of coral fluorescent proteins

For example, GFP (green fluorescent protein), a major coral fluorescent protein, can be excited by simple blue light with a 450nm peak. However, other BFP (blue fluorescent protein), CFP (cyan fluorescent protein) and RFP (red fluorescent protein) need to be approached at UV ray 400nm and Cyan ray 500nm to fully excite them. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a light source covering UV ray 400nm and Cyan ray 500nm to maintain the variety of fluorescent proteins in corals.

Typical blue and white LED lights do not fully bring out the natural fluorescent color of the coral!?

In recent years, many companies have followed the lead of the KR series with aquarium LED lights that claim to be full-spectrum, and products with excellent photosynthesis and color rendering have increased, but there are still few products that take into account the luminescence and maintenance of the fluorescent proteins that are so attractive to corals.

However, replacing your LED lights is a big expense.
That's where the VitalWave comes into play.

Even if your current LED lights are not suitable for fluorescent proteins, as shown in the above figure, they can be transformed into the reef full spectrum by simply adding VitalWave.
This largely complements the wavelengths required for coral fluorescent proteins.

Supplement type Main type

Especially among Aussie corals, which have become increasingly popular in recent years, there are a large number of species that have fluorescent proteins that require a UV band of 400-420nm, and their characteristic strong fluorescence luminescence cannot be sustained without sufficient exposure to the excitation wavelengths required by these proteins. In such cases, the wavelength complementation by VitalWave is very effective.

If you are using a light that does not have enough UV light in the 400-420nm band to maintain such a strong emission of fluorescent proteins, try VitalWave Violet. VitalWave Violet is also highly regarded by users of LED and T5 fluorescent lights from various companies. In addition, by using the newly added VitalWave UVA370 in combination with Violet, the UV band expands and makes blue and cyan fluorescent proteins of Aussie corals emit more strongly, which in turn promotes an increase in fluorescent proteins. Also try VitalWave Cyan or VitalWave Green for yellow and red fluorescent proteins.
On the other hand, for color enhancement other than fluorescent proteins, the new lineup of VitalWave Amber can be used to enhance the color enhancement of brightly colored chromoproteins such as Pocillopora and Seriatopora in ultra-shallow areas. In addition to these supplement types, please try VitalWave Sun, which reproduces spectra at a depth of 10 meters, VitalWave Chlorophyll, which promotes photosynthesis and is suitable for plant cultivation, and VitalWave Plant, which is excellent for growing aquatic and terrestrial plants and for ornamental purposes.
