Available Through Authorized Retailer
- Optimized for 5-Foot Planted Aquariums: Measures a full 60 inches to provide seamless, end-to-end full-spectrum illumination across 5-foot aquariums (such as 100-gallon, 120-gallon extra-high, and custom 60-inch planted aquascapes).
- Proprietary Plantlyte Spectrum: Precision-engineered blend of full-spectrum daylight, enhanced deep red, and photosynthetic blue wavelengths to drive vigorous chlorophyll A and B synthesis.
- High-Density LumiLite PRO Diode Array: Packed with tightly spaced surface-mount micro-LEDs that eliminate disco-ball color separation while producing uniform, wide-angle light spread.
- High CRI Visual Clarity: Enhances the natural coloration of aquatic plants, hardscape driftwood, and tropical fish without washing out delicate green and red hues.
- Passive Extruded Aluminum Heatsink: Ultra-slim aircraft-grade aluminum chassis silently radiates thermal energy upward, keeping tank water cool without failure-prone fans.
- Automation & Dimmer Ready: Fully dimmable and easily paired with Reef Brite inline rotary dimmers, Bluetooth LE modules, or 0–10V aquarium controllers.

Reef Brite 60-Inch Lumi Lite PRO Plantlyte LED Strip Light
Illuminating a 5-foot planted aquarium presents distinct challenges: standard 48-inch fixtures leave dim shadow zones on both outer ends, while clustered pendant lights create intense localized hot spots that can scorch delicate shallow foliage. The Reef Brite Lumi Lite PRO, 60" Freshwater Aquarium LED Light Strip - Plantlyte (SKU: RB-LLPRO60-PL) is the official OEM linear LED fixture engineered specifically for 60-Inch (5-Foot) Planted Aquariums, Dutch Aquascapes, and Nature Aquariums.
Spanning a full 5 feet, the RB-LLPRO60-PL delivers edge-to-edge linear coverage across wide, deep aquarium footprints. Rather than relying on generic white diodes that often encourage nuisance green algae, Reef Brite’s proprietary Plantlyte spectral profile targets the primary photosynthetic absorption peaks of chlorophyll A (430nm and 662nm) and chlorophyll B (453nm and 642nm). This targeted delivery stimulates robust vegetative growth, tight internodal stem spacing, and rich red coloration in demanding species like Rotala, Ludwigia, and Alternanthera reineckii. Simultaneously, a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) reveals the fine textures of aquatic mosses, substrate stones, driftwood, and schooling characins. Encased in an extruded aircraft-grade aluminum profile, the fixture functions as a full-length passive heatsink, operating completely silently and dissipating heat upward away from the water column without mechanical cooling fans.
Ideal Application & Upgrade Scenarios
If you are establishing a 60-inch high-tech planted aquascape, upgrading a 5-foot canopy setup from aging T5 fluorescent lamps to solid-state LED efficiency, or looking for a slim supplemental strip to boost foreground PAR in a large freshwater display, the RB-LLPRO60-PL delivers high-efficiency photosynthetic output in a clean, low-profile form factor.

Installation & Operating Guidelines:
Unbox the fixture and verify that the 60-inch aluminum housing, DC lead cord, and power adapter are free of damage.
Determine your preferred mounting method:
Tank Rim Mounting: Slide the adjustable stainless steel mounting legs into the side extrusion channels at both ends of the fixture and rest them securely on the aquarium rim.
Canopy Mounting: Fasten the fixture to the inner wooden framework of your canopy using mounting clips or L-brackets, ensuring the LED surface sits at least 2 to 4 inches above the water line.
Align the light strip so the diodes project directly downward across the entire length of the substrate.
Plug the low-voltage barrel connector from the fixture lead directly into the female plug of the included DC power supply (or connect via an optional inline dimmer/controller).
Establish a drip loop along the power cord below the electrical socket to prevent condensation or water droplets from running into the wall outlet.
Connect the power supply to an AC wall receptacle, digital lighting timer, or smart controller outlet.
Set an initial photoperiod of 6 hours daily, gradually increasing to 7–8 hours as plant biomass expands and nutrient uptake stabilizes.
Pro Tips:
- Coordinate Light Output with Pressurized CO2 and Fertilization. The Plantlyte spectrum delivers concentrated photosynthetic photon flux tailored specifically for rapid plant metabolism. In high-energy setups running pressurized carbon dioxide, synchronize the photoperiod so CO2 injection starts 1.5 to 2 hours before the RB-LLPRO60-PL powers on. This ensures water column carbonic acid levels are fully saturated when light hits the leaves, driving photosynthesis while starving opportunistic algae of excess light.
- Utilize Inline Dimming for Low-Tech or Epiphyte-Heavy Aquascapes. If your 5-foot display is primarily planted with slow-growing shade plants like Anubias, Bucephalandra, and Microsorum (Java Fern), full PAR output over a long photoperiod can encourage green spot algae on leaf surfaces. Integrate an inline rotary dimmer or Reef Brite Bluetooth controller to scale overall intensity down to 50%–60%, sustaining rich leaf coloration and clean hardscape without high-light maintenance demands.
