The Blade Grow offers immense power in a thin package. Coral Grow features a LED mix that maximizes spectral peaks needed for coral photosynthesis. Use alone or augment with the Blade Glow for a color combination that fits your needs.

Spectrum

A balance of blue and white diodes efficiently addresses the photosynthetic needs of coral. The Blade Grow delivers output in the deep blue through blue range of the spectrum (400-500 nm) which is proven to be a highly effective marine spectrum range.

LEDs

The AI Blade utilizes a cluster group configuration. Each Blade size includes roughly one cluster group per foot. Tight grouping and balanced diode placement contribute to the incredible balance and shimmer that the Blade platform delivers. The Blade Coral Grow includes the following 24 diodes per cluster group. 

• 12 – Royal Blue
• 6 – Cool White
• 6 – Blue

EdgeField™ Optics

Optics are one of the most important components of an advanced lighting system.  Edgefield™ technology incorporated in the Blade delivers even PAR, smooth color mixing and exceptional spread.

Edgefield optics, designed exclusively for the Blade, provide an incredible, 95 degree spread while achieving unmatched light mixing along the length of the blade. The specular exit surface presents a crisp and natural shimmer in your aquarium.

Bright-Sized

The Blade Coral Grow, Blade Coral Glow and Blade Freshwater are available in 7 different sizes. Regardless of tank size or application, Blade has you covered. 

• Blade sizes up to 39.1 in.
• Blade sizes over 39.1 in.

Tank Rest Included

For Blades sized up to 39.1 inches the Low Profile Tank Rest is included. The tank rest extends up to 4.5 inches on either side of the blade (for a total of 9 inches).

Water Resistant

Blade is not only versatile but built to last in the harsh-environment of marine aquariums. Blade meets IP66 standards which indicate the highest protection against particles and a high level of protection against water.

Build Your Solution

• Better Together
• Solo
• Full Custom

Blade Coral Grow is designed for maximum PAR efficiency and Blade Coral Glow is designed for maximum fluorescence. Mix them together and get the best of both. Peak performance is best achieved in a ratio of 2:1 Grow to Glow, but one of each is perfectly acceptable when less light is needed.

Silent Running

The Blade incorporates a highly efficient heat sink design. Passive cooling means no fan and no air movement or fan noise. This makes the Blade ideal for lighting aquariums in living spaces where less noise is a big plus.
