Vertex Illumina LED Modules now in stock!

Vertex Illumina
From its beginnings, Vertex has been founded on a simple principle to deliver an unparalleled combination of form, function, and elegance to reef keeping. Our combination of relentless innovation and insatiable quality control guarantee our commitment to provide only the highest standards for every product worthy of the Vertex brand name.

From these roots have sprung the latest Vertex innovation the Vertex Illumina.

SUPPREMECY IN ELEGANCE, POWERED BY PERFECTION
Underneath the Illumina's sleek, ultra thin exterior are the highest grade LEDs, available, providing unbelievably powerful lighting at extraordinarily low levels of energy consumption. Combining brains with beauty, the technology behind the Illumina allows for an almost endless array of programmable possibilities sunsets, sunrises, midday scenarios, weather simulations, and much more. Controlled wirelessly by the controller or your PC, the Illumina allows for the lights to be manipulated by color group, modules, auxiliary modules, and programmed custom groups, for unsurpassed levels of control.

The other secret to Illumina innovation is the Total Modular System. This revolutionary system allows for ever part of the Illumina to be easily removed and replaced without wiring or soldering. You will be able to upgrade the Vertex Illumina effortlessly to keep up with new LED releases. Removing and replacing parts can be done with a snap.

Keeping all of this equipment in pristine condition is a top priority, and it is yet another area in which the Illumina shines. The Illumina uses a Thermovap heatsink design with a high bypass airshaft exchange, central to an oversized bilateral heat sink. This technology stylishly provides the most efficient heat dispersion technology available on any LED lighting fixture, minimizing heat transfer to your system by the Illumina to levels previously thought impossible.

Designed, made & assembled by Vertex Aquaristik in-house in Austria, and coming in 1' to 6' fixtures, these units provide the highest quality yet seen in the aquarium lighting industry. Never before has an LED device been capable of growing any species of coral while generating such a small carbon footprint consuming almost less than 50% energy compared to most other methods available to illuminate a reef tank. The Illumina's power speaks for itself; its ability to overpower high Kelvin 400w MH bulbs ran on electronic ballasts can be seen by the naked eye.

With unsurpassed lighting power and unprecedented energy efficiency, the Illumina is the ultimate combination of style and substance. Hosting more features than have ever been made available in any other lighting unit and a modular system that guarantees it will continue to be an industry leader for years to come.
