Luc Vogels had been keeping reef aquariums since 2007. But Luc is not your typical aquarist. He’s an Electronic Engineer at Philips Lighting, a company known for pioneering lighting technology.

The trend is going more leds and more diffuse lighting (ie  more led per panel thus more power and larger light fixture)especially to simulate the eveness of t5/ t5 hybrid lighting. Also, none of the Led light companies address tilt lighting to get angled in lighting. Philips bought out TIR SYstems inc nearly a decade ago but I don’t see the light pipe technology used by aquaria. Is there for light pipes mixed in with the Led arrays?
