Reef Brite Lumi Lite PRO, 24" Freshwater Aquarium LED Light Strip - Plantlyte
SKU: RB-LLPRO24-PL
MSRP: $ 210.64
-
Available Through Authorized Retailer
- Optimized for 2-Foot Planted Aquariums: Measures a full 24 inches to deliver continuous, end-to-edge full-spectrum illumination across standard 2-foot tanks (such as 15-gallon, 20-gallon high, and 24-inch rimless planted systems).
- 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 24-Inch Lumi Lite PRO Plantlyte LED Strip Light
Illuminating a standard 2-foot planted aquarium with clustered puck fixtures or single pendants often creates harsh spotlighting, excessive shadows under driftwood, and dark outer corners. The Reef Brite Lumi Lite PRO, 24" Freshwater Aquarium LED Light Strip - Plantlyte (SKU: RB-LLPRO24-PL) is the official OEM linear LED fixture engineered specifically for 24-Inch (2-Foot) Planted Aquariums, High-Tech Aquascapes, and Nature Biotope Displays.
Spanning 24 inches, the RB-LLPRO24-PL delivers edge-to-edge linear coverage across the entire layout. Rather than relying on generic cool-white LEDs that can promote nuisance algae while muting natural leaf tones, Reef Brite’s proprietary Plantlyte spectral profile concentrates photon emission into the photosynthetic absorption peaks of chlorophyll A (430nm and 662nm) and chlorophyll B (453nm and 642nm). This targeted delivery stimulates rapid cell division, tight internodal spacing in stem plants, and rich coloration in red varieties such as Ludwigia, Rotala rotundifolia, and Alternanthera reineckii. Concurrently, a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) presents schooling tetras, dwarf cichlids, and river driftwood in authentic visual detail. Housed in a black anodized extruded aircraft-grade aluminum chassis, the fixture acts as an integrated 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 designing a 15-gallon or 20-gallon high planted aquascape, upgrading a 24-inch canopy setup from aging fluorescent fixtures to solid-state LED efficiency, or seeking an ultra-slim supplemental strip to boost foreground carpet PAR, the RB-LLPRO24-PL provides high-efficiency photosynthetic output in a refined, low-profile form factor.

Installation & Operating Guidelines:
Unbox the fixture and verify that the 24-inch aluminum housing, DC lead cord, and power adapter are undamaged.
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:
- Penetrate Deeper Water Columns in 20 Gallon High Aquariums. On taller 24-inch aquariums like a 20 Gallon High (24" L x 12" W x 16" H), water depth attenuates standard low-wattage LEDs before light reaches ground level. The dense micro-LED array in the RB-LLPRO24-PL maintains strong usable PAR through 16 inches of water, allowing you to establish dense carpets of Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo' or dwarf hairgrass without upgrading to an oversized hanging pendant.
- Synchronize Photoperiod with Carbon Dioxide Delivery. Because the Plantlyte spectrum delivers intense photosynthetic stimulation, mismatching light duration with carbon dioxide availability can invite green dust or staghorn algae. When running pressurized CO2 on a 24-inch planted system, ensure the gas solenoid engages 1.5 to 2 hours before the lights power on so dissolved CO2 reaches roughly 30 ppm the moment illumination starts, and switch off CO2 one hour before lights out.
