Natura iCon MAX - Reef Aquarium LED Lighting

Orphek Natura iCon MAX Twice the power. Nature's full spectrum, Bigger impact. Natura iCon MAX will change the way you reef forever. The ultimate full-spectrum Sun & Moon Sync LED lighting system engineered for large reef aquariums, deep tanks, and serious coral growers. Building on the proven success of the Natura iCon, the Natura iCon MAX 290W scales everything that made the original revolutionary — now with double the size and double the high-efficiency 6W Mixed Colors Dual-Chip LEDs (9 LEDs - 13 different colors). The only LED reef light that reproduces Nature at its fullest — delivering greater power, deeper penetration, and wider coverage for larger, more demanding reef systems. Key Advantages Twice the Power, Superior Coverage 156 × 6W mixed dual-chip LEDs (312 chips total) deliver dramatically higher intensity with smooth, even distribution across the entire aquarium. Proven Full Spectrum, Amplified The renowned 390–740nm full spectrum is now enhanced with double the photochemical output for stronger growth and richer coloration. Also included: the jaw-dropping widest blue spectrum ever achieved. Built for Larger & Deeper Tanks Wider spread and deeper penetration make it ideal for large aquariums and demanding SPS systems, maintaining performance even at depth. Exceptional Efficiency This 290W Light delivers higher PAR per watt ratio, preserving the Natura iCon's industry-leading efficiency, while providing more usable light where it matters most. Natura iCon MAX is built for aquarists who demand more power, control and precision, without compromising efficiency or biological performance. Ideal Applications SPS / LPS coral reef systems Coverage 120 × 76cm (48" × 30") Natural and synthetic aquascapes Public aquariums and private collections Coral farming and coral spawning setups — including calendar-controlled seasonal spawning cycles Recommended mounting height: 20cm (8") above the water surface Intelligent Control System Natura iCon MAX is powered by Orphek's most advanced control platform — combining precise dimming, real natural cycles, and effortless app control in one seamless system. Pre-Installed Programs Helius A decade of research condensed into one program for maximum color pop and coral growth (1%–100% dimming). Lunar The only real moon cycle. Full progressive dimming across all channels (0.01%–1%), not just a few blue LEDs. Sun & Moon Sync Synchronizes both sun and moon cycles to real local time (or any location worldwide) throughout the year. Lunar Mode Brightness Limit Set independent maximum brightness limit (0.01%–1.00%) per channel during moonlight. Changes apply instantly. Additional modes: Clouds, acclimation, jellyfish, plus full custom programming. Advanced Dimming Full progressive dimming on every channel Industry-first 10,000% dimming resolution (0–100% daytime / 0.01–1% lunar) Six Independent Channels Control each color bandwidth separately for complete customization of the light appearance and spectrum balance. PAR Readings Measured PAR (PPFD) Natura iCon MAX output measured on a 6 × 12 point grid at five distances from the fixture, 1 × Natura iCon MAX, water depth 55 cm (22 in). All figures are measured readings in µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹, not calculated estimates. Distance from light Peak PAR Centre average Grid average Lowest reading 15 cm 6 in 1820 1681 849 190 30 cm 12 in 966 897 372 69 60 cm 24 in 515 470 324 160 90 cm 35 in 354 208 230 166 120 cm 47 in 220 119 148 108 Peak is the single highest reading on the grid. Centre average is the mean directly beneath the fixture. Grid average is the mean of all points receiving light - at 60 cm (24 in) and beyond, every one of the 72 measured points is lit, which is the figure to look at when judging coverage rather than raw intensity. App Control The free Orphek iCon App puts complete control in your hand. Sun & Moon Sync automatically follows your phone's time. Intensity adjusts dynamically based on HELIUS data - everything works intelligently in the background. Free on iOS and Android Clean, fast, and easy to use Wi-Fi + Bluetooth connectivity iCloud support and enhanced data security High-speed response and hotspot sharing option Automatic Geolocation Detection Automatically synchronizes your lighting with local sunrise, sunset, moonrise, and moonset cycles through the Orphek iCon App. Sync Calendar - Seasonal Spawning Control New Update to the latest version of the Orphek iCon App to unlock precise seasonal spawning control. A ground-breaking feature that lets you select the exact start date for your synchronization cycle — aligning your lighting with specific times of the year to trigger natural spawning behaviour on demand. The definitive tool for researchers, biobanks, and coral farmers who require repeatable, calendar-accurate control over coral reproductive cycles. The Spectrum By combining two different nm colors in a single LED (Orphek Mixed Dual-Chip technology), Natura iCon MAX delivers the widest and most captivating blues ever achieved — inspired by the crystalline waters of the Pacific Ocean. Nature's Full Spectrum: 390–740nm Best-in-class even light distribution for SPS and LPS corals Optimized spectrum for growth and color across the full biological range Orphek Proprietary New Blue Spectrum Orphek's widest blue spectrum ever achieved - combining an incredible Ice Blue hue (470–480nm) with Blue (450–470nm), complemented with perfectly proportioned Violet (420–430nm) and UV/Violet (390–415nm) - unlocking extraordinary fluorescence and previously unseen colors. The LEDs Gigantic performance. Superior coloration. A true leap forward. Orphek is the first and only company in the reef LED market to design each Dual-Chip LED with two different mixed nm colors. This proprietary approach enhances spectral output, coral health, growth, coloration, and LED longevity. 156 6W Dual-Chip Power LEDs High-efficiency mixed-color LEDs delivering dramatically higher intensity with smooth, even distribution across the entire aquarium. 312 Individual LED Chips Two chips per LED means double the spectral precision — richer blending, smoother gradients, and more natural light output than conventional single-chip designs. 9 types · 13 colors Proprietary Dual-Chip Combinations Each LED pairs two carefully selected wavelengths in one chip. The result: deeper coral coloration, stronger photosynthetic response, and a visual brilliance that has to be seen to be believed. 390–740nm Full Biological Spectrum From UV-violet to deep red — every wavelength corals need to thrive, grow, and display their most vivid natural colors. The Reflectors Custom 90° reflector technology for peak beam width and efficiency. Exclusive Orphek 90° reflectors deliver maximum efficiency and precise beam control Superior PAR coverage with focused distribution and zero light spill outside the tank — meaning every watt goes directly to your corals, not your walls. Less wasted light, lower running costs. Premium Construction & Longevity Built to outlast the competition — and look good doing it.
