VERSATILE & Cost Effective LED Aquarium Lights With the NEW AquaIllumination Blade!

What was the ideal mounting height?

My AI blade grow only lasted 1 month it just went out still waiting for a response from AquaIllumination

The color blend are terrible on this light or so ive heard.

would you recommend a Blade Grow as the primary light for a 32 gallon bio cube?

Do these do okay placing this on a tank with an acrylic lid?

Can you make a review between AI hydra and blade. When to go for a hydra or a blade. Many people have this question.

Hello,

What intensity did you have the light set at for the PAR tests? 100%? Thanks

Is there a mount that hangs on the tank higher up.. These lights look amazing but all i can think about is them being in the way of water changes.

Can we talk about the design flaw that causes a reddish to blue hue shift along the light?

Can these simulate a lightning storm?

Yooooo brs. Do you offer refunds in the blades we bought from you ?? Mine was defective and ai sent another defective one to replace it. Now ai has to investigate the problem I told them about and sent videos of the problem. Every blade that has been sold IS defective. They all have the same part


It super shady when people try to post about defective products and YOU deny the post since Looks like you’re part of the money train

People bought defective lights after you said they were great

I hope you make a video addressing it since it looks like your hiding it on fb groups

Consumers need to know it’s a port quality product

It’s made in China but they try to hide that I was told it’s made in USA. Cool why it’s it defective then ? Where’s the quality control ???

terimakasih banyak 🙏
Informasi yang sangat luar biasa... rekomen yang bagus

I got grow and glow. It’s a great light

Horticultural lighting is 1-1.50$ a watt let that sink in

Is it possible to use RO filters instead of RO/DI? Since our country needs lots of sanitation permits to buy an RO/DI filter

And yet another BRS video on the insanely overpriced AI blades. Sheesh.

This is disappointing, every other review I've watched and reviews from user on forums are no where near as enthusiastic. I hate to say it but this makes me lose faith and trust in Brs as this just feels like a sales plug. Feature and benefit sales bashing, confused.

What a f I would like to have two blades one grow and second Glow is this is a good thinking or two blades should be the same

I have the 12 inch grow over my reef casa from frag box! Nice light!

Does the AI Blade come with weather programs like the current USA lights used to ?

I got a 12” grow and already had to send it back. There a plastic filler piece that shades the white led on one end of the light the 6 holes are not all centered. So the end woth the cord puts out a pink shade when the light only has white and blue leds. Now AI is Amat to charge customers $1 and then asks permission to hold your credit card info on file (probably so they can have a security breach and then Not tell customers). You have to pay $1 to get proper warranty service. They send you a new light and you send yours back. If they decide yours is not covered by the warranty they WILL charge you for the new light. So you’ll pay double to get a working product. They say “if it’s water damaged”. Like wtf. It’s an aquarium light it’s should be water proof It sounds like a racket if brs is a controlling partner of AI. They promote it, they make sales, it’s a sub par product and then they charge you $1 for nothing. On top of your light might magically be not covered by warranty. Ai sent me an email saying they would let me know about any damage charges to my light. I swear to god They better not ask me for a dollar Good thing I keep my old light to light my tank. AI is complete blind to the fact the tanks need a damn light on them They told me 3-5 days I’d be without a light. They paid for the slowest shipping so it took 6 days to ship and it will be a few more days of waiting. Everyone’s made money and now customers are screwed

Also 430nm, 415nm and 405nm are not UV.

BRS needing another infomercial series? Are sales slowing in May?

These lights are very close to amazing on paper.
It just depends on the paper. When you look at the prices they strangely jump around seemingly randomly. There is no reason for massive jumps at certain lengths nor such a huge difference for the Glows over the Grows (ok 405nm diodes may be more expensive than cool whites or 470nm but it's ABSOLUTELY BS to say that diodes are responsible for the price difference). Once you compare other bars at longer lengths for similar watts the price difference just explodes. That just seems like more sneaky marketing to me to say they cost-effective when you are just comparing price per par, at shorter lengths. For example Reefbreeders are listed at $280 for 4ft vs $400 for the Grows and $569 for the Glows! That's a 42% increase simply for different diodes.
And it's the diodes that, for me, are the biggest question mark for these lights - given the BRS spectrum episode and broad blue and that so many lights have 450nm diodes (including cool whites) I really question why AI can't make supplementary blue and broad blue blades.
I'd be happy paying 50% extra on a 4 foot bar (many are $200), given the extra PAR, the better spread and functionality that these lights have... plus of course how nice they look. I'd even stomach paying double at $400... but for that I'd want broad blue - 415, 430, 450 and 470nm. That would better match the spectrum that BRS is pushing. Even better would be to have diodes that widen out the blue when paired with Radions and if you include white lets add in warm whites (which I think are much nicer).
So I am really hoping AI bring out a better spectrum and price the longer lengths reasonably.
The idea of using them to fill the tank with broad blue light all day really does call me because I think the design means they are the best at doing it whilst also looking the best too.

Whoa.... brs actually using the term "cost effective" rather than "budget" like they usually do when they want to steer toward more expensive items...

Are the hanging kits actually available yet? Cus they haven’t been and while I don’t mind making a fixture myself, I’d just as soon order something where the math has already been done.

Thomas always gets a thumbs up 👍

I currently have a 21" Grow paired with a Kessil 360x. The Grow is lighting the back wall of my RS170. The SPS on my top rock toward the back are really loving the PAR while the LPS and softs toward the side and front are liking the reduced PAR I can give them by turning down the Kessil.

Thomas always gets a 👍

Have a 30 gallon long lps tank. Have 2 ai primes. Bought a 30” glow to get rid of shadowing. Bleached a bunch of my corals as these things are strong! Only now is color back

Would be interesting to compare these to comparably sized/priced orphek OR3 bars

Only downside is for the price of 1 the larger stripes you could just as easily buy a radion pro and spend the same amount of money notcto mention probably 3x the power. These lights are fantastic though and definitely top of the line but way to costly if doing multiple strips especially on 4'-6' tanks

Thomas always gets a thumbs up 🤙🏽
