Volx Japan has always been at the forefront of LED spotlighting. Their Ledio line of PAR38 LED spotlights were available to Japanese reefers long before many of our contemporary controllable fixtures.
But while PAR38 LED spotlights have had their heyday in western reef aquariums, this form factor is still very popular for niche applications. Nano aquariums and accent lighting are still very popular applications for PAR38 LED spotlights, and Volx Japan’s new Ledio RX122 are about to raise the bar for the genre.
Up to now the only way to control most PAR38 LED spotlights was either through the use of an electrical timer, or manually through included remotes. The Ledio RX122 spotlights are the first PAR38 LEDs to have a USB port to add bluetooth connectivity.
通过随附的蓝牙加密狗，Ledio RX122聚光灯的用户可以控制每个聚光灯的亮度，并将基本正时功能编程到灯中。您不会像典型的礁石水族馆那样找到多通道/多色控制支持。
Instead, the Ledio RX122 is made in a variety of spectrums, and it’s through the control of each combination of colors that you attain the desired lighting color and intensity. This is a very different way to control aquarium lighting color and brightness but it does enable the targeting of light to corals in different zones of the aquarium.
Ledio RX122阵容中的五个不同聚光灯包括三个盐水光谱，一个淡水和一个非常温暖的光，这可能主要用于亚洲Arowanas和Blood Parrot Cichlids。RX122深处是五种不同的LED混合物，从紫外线到蓝色，深蓝色和青色。
The RX122 Reef has a more nutritious lighting spectrum with the various shades of blue LEDs supplemented with neutral white and warm white to hit higher PAR numbers. The RX122 Coral spotlight is probably our favorite, with a load of different blue LEDs backed up by a single neutral white LEDs to balance out the overall apparent color.
Connection to the G Ledio control app was pretty straightforward via bluetooth but the controls are pretty basic. Within the app you can directly control the brightness of any RX122 spotlight, and different lights can be grouped for control of entire zones of the aquarium.
最后，还有一个内置的计时器功能，它允许用户以10％的功率和4小时的时间增量调整亮度；我们知道，它不是最颗粒的控制器，但它确实简化并简化了编程过程。控制单个LED组是水族馆照明的一种截然不同的方法，如果您是PAR38 LED聚光灯的忠实拥护者，沃尔克斯日本肯定会以新的RX122型号领先于此。
