Red Sea ReefLED 160S LED Array
Restore full output to a tired ReefLED 160S with the genuine factory array. This is Red Sea's own replacement LED array (part R35178) for the ReefLED 160S — the largest fixture in the first-generation ReefLED range. LEDs lose intensity gradually over years of reef-length photoperiods, and an array swap brings the light back to day-one spectrum and output for a fraction of the cost of a new fixture.
Key features
- Genuine Red Sea part — factory array, not a generic replacement, so spectrum and PAR output match the original ReefLED 160S specification.
- Direct-fit board-level swap — replaces the light-emitting array without needing a new driver, housing or mounting hardware.
- Restores original spectrum and intensity — corrects the slow colour and PAR drop that comes with years of use, rather than masking it with a higher dimmer setting.

Will it fit my light?
This array is specific to the ReefLED 160S. It is not interchangeable with the ReefLED 50, 90 or the G2 range (60, 115, 170) — those use their own arrays sized to their own housings and driver boards.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for a ReefLED 160S that has lost brightness, developed uneven spread, or shifted colour after several years of use. Not the right part for a fixture with a power, WiFi or driver fault — those symptoms point to the electronic board rather than the array, and swapping the array won't fix them.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty on the replacement part, in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as a small parcel item.
Common questions
How do I know if my ReefLED 160S needs a new array rather than a new board?
A fading or colour-shifted light that still powers on, connects to ReefBeat and responds to dimming normally is an array symptom. A light that won't power on, won't connect, or behaves erratically points to the electronic board instead.
Can I fit this myself?
Red Sea publishes a video guide for ReefLED electronic and array replacement — it's a board-level swap using basic tools, not a specialist repair.
Will this fit a ReefLED G2 170?
No. The G2 range uses its own arrays sized to the G2 housing and driver — this part is specific to the ReefLED 160S.
