Fluval Transformer for Vista/Curve Aquarium 15242,15245,15248
Keeps the Vista and Curve LED light powered when the original transformer fails. This is the genuine Fluval transformer, part number A13011, for the Vista/Curve Bentglass aquarium kits sold in three sizes – 32 L (15242), 60 L (15245) and 87 L (15248). One transformer design covers all three, so fitment comes down to confirming which Vista kit you own rather than matching a wattage rating.
Will it fit my aquarium?
Yes, if your aquarium is one of the three Fluval Bentglass kits below. It plugs into the LED light bar built into the kit's hood or rim – it is not a stand-alone power supply for other Fluval lights, filters or heaters. Fluval doesn't publish a separate output rating for this part, so we haven't listed one; fitment below is confirmed against Fluval's own parts documentation.
| Model | Volume | SKU |
|---|---|---|
| Fluval Vista | 32 L (8.5 US gal) | 15242 |
| Fluval Vista | 60 L (16 US gal) | 15245 |
| Fluval Vista | 87 L (23 US gal) | 15248 |
Key features
- Genuine Fluval part – manufacturer part number A13011, not a generic aftermarket adapter.
- One part, three tank sizes – the same transformer supplies the LED strip on all three Vista/Curve capacities.
- AU mains plug – wired for a standard Australian power point, no adapter needed.
- Direct swap – connects at the same point as the original transformer, no rewiring of the light bar itself.
What's included, and what you'll still need
The box contains the transformer and its mains lead only. The LED light bar, hood and aquarium aren't included – this part replaces a failed power supply on a Vista or Curve you already own.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for the three Vista/Curve kits listed above. Not suitable as a generic 12V aquarium light supply – other Fluval ranges such as Vue, SEA Edge and Accent use different transformers, and fitting the wrong one can damage the light bar.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Fluval's manufacturer warranty against faulty parts, in addition to the consumer guarantees you're entitled to under Australian Consumer Law. Standard parcel delivery – this is a small, light item with no special freight handling required.
Common questions
Does this transformer suit the Fluval Vue or SEA Edge lights?
No. Those ranges use their own transformers with different connectors. This part is specific to the Vista/Curve 15242, 15245 and 15248 kits.
My Vista light won't turn on – is the transformer definitely the fault?
Check the power point and lead connection first. If the LED bar stays off with a known-good outlet and a firmly seated lead, a failed transformer is the most common cause on these kits.
Is this the same transformer for the 32 L, 60 L and 87 L Vista?
Yes – Fluval uses one transformer design, A13011, across all three sizes.
