Daytime Matrix LED aquarium lighting can be placed above the aquarium in various ways:
The universal brackets can be placed on the edge of the aquarium. The extendable bars can be easily adjusted with the supplied Allen key. On one side there is the option to screw on all other mounting options. On the other side a piece has been removed and fitted with a silicone cap. This means it can be placed on the edge of the aquarium or stabilos/pull strips, etc.
With the Swing brackets the LED unit hangs approximately 60 mm above the aquarium. The brackets can be screwed onto the standard universal brackets. The protruding pins then allow the profile to rest on the edge of the aquarium.
Transparent acrylic holders for open aquariums and ideal for an aquascape aquarium. The set can be attached to the universal brackets with the supplied stainless steel screws. The width can be adjusted to the aquarium. With these holders the matrix unit is approximately 60 mm above the water surface.
This allows the matrix profile to be screwed to a surface from both the top and bottom. For example for mounting in a wooden light hood. It can also be used to place it elevated on an edge. Extra freedom in height is possible thanks to the 3 adjustment positions.
The T8 caps fit into existing fluorescent bases to attach the Matrix LED unit. This makes it easy to replace existing fluorescent lighting with a matrix LED profile. The brackets can be slid through the profile to easily install the LED unit. Power is not supplied by the holders. The distance between the center of the cap and the bottom of the matrix profile is 45mm. This mounting is not suitable for a Juwel aquarium, because there is insufficient space between the profile and the water surface.

The T5 caps fit into existing fluorescent bases to attach the Matrix LED unit. This makes it easy to replace existing fluorescent lighting with a matrix LED profile. The brackets can be slid through the profile to easily install the LED unit. Power is not supplied by the holders. The distance between the center of the cap and the bottom of the matrix profile is 45mm. This mounting is not suitable for a Juwel aquarium, because there is insufficient space between the profile and the water surface. Use a Juwel adapter profile for this.

Attach the Matrix LED unit to a metal surface. These small magnets have a lot of carrying capacity and can be moved along the length of the matrix profile. For example for use with a Fluval Edge aquarium.
Hang the Matrix LED unit from the ceiling at any desired height on the stainless steel wires. The plate with threaded sleeve can be slid freely over the length of the profile. The supplied van can be screwed to the ceiling. The distance can then be adjusted in height, without any further tools. Length of the wire is 2 meters.
Also available: Matrix Cross-connection:
Hang 2 Matrix LED units on the ceiling with a distance of 200mm / Center to Center. (Hanging set included)
Use these accessories to attach a Matrix LED unit in an Aquatlantis light hood.

How much LED lighting is needed above the aquarium?
Our advice is a light intensity of 25-40 lumens per liter of aquarium water for a planted aquarium.
Light intensity | 10-20 Lumen per Liter Moderate lighting | 20-30 Lumen per Liter Normal lighting | 30 Lumens and higher Lots of lighting |
Type of aquarium | Sufficient for Cryptocoryne, Anubias, Ferns etc. (e.g. Shrimp, Diskus or Africa aquarium) | For plants with slightly more light requirements such as moss, Hygrophila, Pogostemon and Sword plants | For plants that are more difficult to keep such as Hemianthus, Glossostigma, Rotalas, etc. |
CO2 fertilization: | Not necessary | Recommended | Indispensable |
50 L | 500-1000 Lumens | 1000-1500 Lumens | >1500 Lumens |
100 L | 1000-2000 Lumens | 2000-3000 Lumens | >3000 Lumens |
