Description
Product Overview
The Chihiros A II Max Series LED Light is a full-spectrum lighting system engineered to provide superior performance for freshwater planted aquariums. Upgraded with an expanded, wider unibody housing, the Max series utilizes ultra-bright, high-luminance white LEDs arranged to blanket your tank with an exceptionally powerful light spread. It covers a comprehensive spectral range of approximately 400 to 700 nm, placing a heavy emphasis on the critical red and blue wavelengths that fuel robust photosynthesis, while maintaining the essential green and yellow rays that keep your display looking beautifully natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes the Chihiros A II Max Series different from the standard A II Series?
The A II Max Series features a significantly wider 4.92-inch unibody frame housing higher-luminance white LEDs. This delivers higher raw lumen output and wider front-to-back coverage, making it better suited for deeper or wider planted tanks requiring intense PAR penetration.
2. How do I control the brightness and timing on the Chihiros A II Max?
The light features built-in Bluetooth connectivity that pairs wirelessly with the My Chihiros App on iOS and Android devices. Inside the app, you can adjust intensity levels, program daily photoperiod timers, and schedule smooth sunrise and sunset ramping curves.
3. Can I hang the Chihiros A II Max light overhead instead of using the legs?
Yes! The fixture supports modular mounting options. You can swap out the default sliding metal legs for Chihiros A II Max Acrylic Legs or suspend the fixture overhead using the Chihiros A II Max Series Hanging Kit.
