Moonlight LED – Night lighting

The Aquael Moonlight LED is a low-power blue lamp for aquarium keepers who want a night-time light that does not disturb the tank. It suits nocturnal species and reef keepers running small marine aquariums with corals, where it can serve as actinic lighting.

Why it matters

• The lamp uses 5-volt technology, which the manufacturer describes as safe for both the aquarium inhabitants and the keeper.
• Its strong blue light mimics natural moonlight, allowing nocturnal animals to feed under conditions close to their natural rhythm.
• According to the manufacturer, this type of lighting may encourage spawning in reluctant species that rarely breed in aquariums.
• In small marine tanks, the blue output intensifies the glow of corals and makes them look more attractive.

Specifications

• Power: 1 W
• Dimensions: 4.5 x 3.5 x 5.5
• Weight: 0.2 kg

What it works with

The lamp is designed for aquariums where a moonlight effect is needed, mainly for nocturnal fish and for setups where the keeper wants to observe animals after the main lights go off. Its low 1 W power makes it a supplementary light rather than a main source, and the manufacturer lists it specifically for small marine tanks with corals.
