Fluval LED Replacement Lamp Strip for the Fluval Vista/Curve Aquarium 32L
The genuine Fluval strip that puts factory-spec light back on a Vista or Curve 32 L. This is the 42.5 cm LED lamp strip Fluval fits inside the Vista 32 L (8.5 US gal, model 15242) and Curve 32 L aquarium kits, with touch-sensor control built into the strip itself. It replaces a dead or dim factory light without any rewiring — it plugs straight into the aquarium's existing power lead.
Key features
- Genuine Fluval part — manufacturer part number A13005, not a generic aftermarket strip.
- Built-in touch control — on/off and dimming are handled by the touch sensor moulded into the strip, so no separate controller is needed.
- Drop-in fit — matches the original strip's mounting points and cable plug on the Vista/Curve 32 L canopy.
- 42.5 cm length — sized specifically for the 32 L canopy; it will not fit the 60 L or 87 L Vista/Curve.

Will it fit my tank?
This strip is built to the Vista/Curve 32 L canopy only. If your aquarium is the 60 L or 87 L Vista/Curve, this strip is the wrong length and will not sit in the mounting channel — order the matching 60 L or 87 L strip instead.
What's included / Not included
Included: one 42.5 cm LED lamp strip with integrated touch control.
Not included: the power supply/transformer. If your original transformer has failed rather than the light itself, you need the separate Fluval Vista/Curve replacement transformer, which is a shared part across the 32 L, 60 L and 87 L sizes.
Compatibility and spares
Genuine Fluval part A13005, sold in Australia as VISTA04. It is specific to the 32 L Vista and Curve kits and is not interchangeable with the 60 L strip (A13006) or the 87 L strip (A13007).
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Fluval's manufacturer warranty against defects, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Standard parcel delivery Australia-wide.
Common questions
Will this fit my Fluval Curve 32 L as well as the Vista 32 L?
Yes. The Vista and Curve share the same 32 L canopy and lighting electronics, so the same 42.5 cm strip fits both.
Do I need a new transformer too?
Only if the transformer itself has failed. If your light was dim, flickering or completely out but the transformer still hums or warms normally, the strip is usually the fault and this part on its own will fix it.
Can I dim this light or only turn it on and off?
Both — the touch sensor built into the strip supports dimming as well as on/off, matching the original factory light.
Is this a genuine Fluval part?
Yes, this is genuine Fluval part A13005, not a third-party equivalent.
