Red Sea ReefLED 160S / G2 170 Fan
Genuine replacement cooling fan for the ReefLED 160S and G2 170. Confirmed against Red Sea's spares reference (R35176) as the correct fan for this size of ReefLED. Active cooling protects the LED matrix and driver electronics from heat, and a fan that's slowed, rattling or stopped should be replaced before the light starts thermal-throttling or fails outright.
Key features
- Genuine Red Sea part — factory fan, direct fit.
- Restores full cooling — protects the LED array from heat-related dimming and premature failure.
- Quiets a noisy unit — a rattling or grinding fan is a bearing on the way out; replacing it early is cheaper than an LED matrix.

Red Sea does not publish the fan's wattage, airflow rating or noise figure as a standalone spec, so those aren't stated here rather than guessed at.
Will it fix my light?
A ReefLED that's running hotter than usual, dimming itself under Red Sea's thermal protection, or making a rattling or grinding noise from inside the housing is the usual symptom this part fixes. A completely silent, unresponsive fan — no noise, no airflow felt at the vents — also points here.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Fits ReefLED 160S and G2 170 only — the 50/60 and 90/115 units use their own, smaller fans.
Fitting
Internal part — fitting means opening the light's housing, which affects its water resistance rating until correctly resealed. If you're not confident opening electronics near a reef tank, have this fitted by someone who is.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. Small parcel, standard delivery.
Common questions
How do I know if the fan has failed rather than the LED driver?
Noise — rattling, grinding, or a fan that's gone silent — points to the fan. Dimming or shutdown with the fan still audibly running points elsewhere in the electronics.
Does this fit the ReefLED 90?
No — the 90 uses its own fan, a different part.
Is this a job I can do myself?
It involves opening the light's housing. If you're comfortable with basic electronics work, yes — otherwise ask us or a qualified technician to fit it.
