If you're placing corals at a specific depth and want a tighter figure than \"100+ PAR at 76 cm\", a PAR meter reading on your own tank once it's installed is the reliable way to confirm, since rock placement and water clarity both shift the number from the lab figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich one do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 160S sits at the top of Red Sea's ReefLED range, above the ReefLED 90 and ReefLED 50 — it's built for the largest and deepest displays in the lineup, including the 900 mm and 1800 mm+ tank widths. If you're lighting a shallower or narrower display, a smaller ReefLED model may be enough and will cost less to run; ask us for a comparison against your tank's dimensions before committing to the 160S if you're unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuited to large, deep or SPS-dominant reef displays — particularly systems around 90 cm deep or wider than a single smaller fixture can evenly cover. Not the most economical choice for a shallow nano or small display, where a smaller ReefLED model delivers enough PAR at a lower purchase price and running cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRunning costs and noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 160 W and an assumed 8-hour photoperiod, that's approximately 467 kWh a year — around $140 a year at a 30c\/kWh tariff (your own rate will vary; check your electricity bill for the actual figure). The fixture is fanless, so it runs silently; heat is dissipated passively, so allow clear air space above the unit rather than mounting it inside a sealed hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the lens periodically to clear salt creep, which reduces light output over time if left to build up. No lamps or diffusers to replace — the LEDs themselves are rated for long service life, though Red Sea doesn't publish a specific replacement interval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMains-powered — run on an RCD-protected circuit, and keep the cable's drip loop below the power point to stop water tracking into the plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty, in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law.

For longer tanks, mount multiple units around 76 cm apart rather than trying to stretch coverage from a single fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need the ReefBeat app to run it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixture runs on its last saved programme without Wi-Fi, but scheduling, ramping, lunar cycles and remote monitoring all need a Wi-Fi connection through the ReefBeat app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the 160S too much light for a new tank?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be, run at full intensity — use the app's acclimation mode to ramp intensity up gradually, whether you're cycling a new display or introducing the light over an already-established reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow much does it cost to run?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoughly 467 kWh a year on an assumed 8-hour photoperiod, which is about $140 a year at a 30c\/kWh tariff — actual cost depends on your own electricity rate and photoperiod length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's the difference between this and the ReefLED 90?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 160S is Red Sea's highest-output fixture, built for larger and deeper displays than the 90.
