At MACNA, we laid eyes on a sample of 200watt Maxspect R420R “Razor” LED fixture which was to be the largest fixture in the R420R lineup to date, and it sported a horde of novel features that would drive the fixture to its highest levels of efficiency till date. Being a sample, the fixture was to undergo some minor changes at any point leading up to production, but this progress by Maxspect is completely unanticipated. They skipped making minor twists in favor of much bigger ones, most particularly the addition of two whole clusters of LEDs, which not only brought the total power up to 300watts but also extended the fixture by almost a foot.
Built with a slim and low profile body, the R420r LED Lighting System is design to seamlessly merge into your living area with elegance. The R420r also comes with both pendant mounting kit as well as tank-top mounting frame, whichever suits you better. The R420r LED Lighting System redefines the term efficiency, with temperature controlled cooling system, utilizing highly efficient high intensity LED chips from Cree, drawing 160w of power but can out-perform 400w metal halide fixtures. The R420r Lighting system deploys an ingenious aerodynamic design which draws cool air from underneath the fixture, through its body which also serves as a large heat sink, to dissipate heat passively.
The R420r Lighting system is designed to provide all ranges of color spectrum required by corals and plants to enhance their growth rate, improve their coloration and at the same time giving your aquarium the most aesthetically pleasing combination of colors. Comes in three different models, the M10000 with 10000K color temperature, M16000 with 16000K color temperature, and A8000K with 8000K color temperature the R420r will meet the requirements of even the most sophisticated group of marine, reef and freshwater hobbyists.
The R420r Lighting system also utilizes the 410/420nm Super Actinic LED chips, the spectrum that’s crucial for the success of any reef and water plant aquariums as it is required by Chlorophyll A for photosynthesis, where absorption peaks at 412nm.
The R420r Lighting system is designed to be primarily cooled passively, the body of the R420r is crafted entirely in aluminum, serving as a large heat sink, together with an ingenious aerodynamic design, cool air is channeled through the bottom of the fixture and heat will be dissipated through the aluminum chassis. With a built-in temperature controlled system, active cooling will be engaged as needed to ensure optimized performance.
With 6 Time-Points, users can program their own photo-period for their aquariums, fully control the intensity of light their aquarium will receive from dawn to dusk. Utilizing the latest high performance high intensity Cree XLamp® XT-E and XP-E LED chips, equipped with 90° degrees optics, the R420r will consume less power yet producing more PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) for even your most demanding corals. The R420r LED system utilize the latest in LED technology, including Cree XT-E and XP-E high intensity LED chips distributed in 2 different channels, offering unmatched performance and versatility.
The new 300watt Razor will be available late November with a retail price of $899. For specifications and details you can refer to maxspect.
