The Reef Brite XHO is a dimmable, high-power LED light strip designed as a superior replacement for traditional T5HO or VHO fluorescent lighting. Utilizing cutting-edge 3-watt LED technology, this versatile unit delivers maximum performance and output, making it an excellent choice for primary display tank illumination, sump or refugium lighting, or as a component in a custom lighting system. Its primary function is to provide the actinic blue spectrum crucial for coral health and fluorescence, enhancing the vibrant colors of your reef aquarium inhabitants.

This 72-inch fixture features a specialized reflector system that optimizes light output while minimizing glare, resulting in a high-definition viewing experience that accentuates the detailed beauty of your corals. It produces a natural shimmer effect that mimics the way sunlight penetrates ocean water. Constructed from lightweight, low-profile extruded aluminum with a stylish black anodized finish, the American-made unit is designed for easy installation in a variety of applications. Multiple XHO units can be combined to create a powerful, customized lighting array for any size tank.

This high-output LED is ideal for the serious reef aquarium hobbyist or professional seeking extreme performance and vibrant coral coloration. It is particularly well-suited for aquarists upgrading from older lighting technologies or those looking to supplement their existing setup with a powerful actinic source. Thanks to its compatibility with popular LED timers and advanced controllers like the APEX system (via a separate adapter), it is the perfect choice for users who demand precision, control, and automation for their sophisticated reef ecosystems.
