When LEDs really hit the market, many in the reef aquarium hobby in general were ready to all but abandon the previous generation of lighting technology which has served us so well. We were always kind of perplexed that we didn’t see more of a gradual transition between LEDs and T5s, and many more examples of hybrid lights.
既然摆板已经完全朝着技术的LED侧旋转，看来礁石水族馆的爱好已准备好重新审视T5和LED可以一起提供的更平衡的照明融合。Nanobox Reef带有新的Hybrid LED＆T5 Light，领导着两全其美的指控，其中包含了许多其他照明公司无法获得的功能。
首先，NBR混合灯是由工业一体式设计制成的，其反射器的反射器直接刻在坚固的铝制固定装置中。整个铝制固定装置可作为中心位置的LED簇的散热器。每个LED群集都是从最佳的LED制造商中精心挑选的各种颜色的阵列，以创建最均衡的光谱，如果没有辅助镜头，它们几乎完美地将其融合在该固定装置的浅罐上。
尽管有多种渠道color control, all of the high end LED fixtures, including the NBR Hybrid have a fixed maximum light output, but the new Hybrid light from NanoBox Reef uses T5 lamps which you can select yourself. If you want a bluer tank, feel free to load it up with some super blue tubes or if you want that deeper blue look, you can finally get that true actinic 03 tube in there with the 420nm spectrum peak which is rare and expensive to get from LEDs alone.
If you know you’re aiming for a shallow water SPS reef setup you can opt for brighter white or daylight tubes and really crank out the PAR numbers and lighting intensity. Simply put, between the LED controllability and the flexibility of selecting what T5 lamps you want, the NBR Hybrid light is the most versatile reef lighting system ever offered to reef aquarists.
At the moment NanoBox Reef will only be making the Hybrid light in a 24″ size with options to add more power insane amount of lighting intensity concentrated over what will be an otherwise really posh tank. The stock NBR Hybrid with dual V3 LED arrays and two T5 tubes is priced at $795, you can either double up the T5s or double up the LEDs for $200 more, or for $1250 you can double down on both the T5 tubes and the LEDs.
It goes without saying that this premium price point comes with fully controllable multichannel LED programming, wireless of course, and you can also customize the colors of fixture itself. The NanoBox Reef isnota mass market product, it is hand made and machined in the USA so you can be assured that this light is of the utmost quality and likely to make an impression both above and inside your tank.
