Abstract:
1. A compact LED aquarium light apparatus, comprising: at least one array of multiple LED chips without individual packaging, wherein the LED chips are distributed laterally over an area, said LED chips having light emitting surfaces for emitting light in directions transverse to said area, wherein the dimensions of the area do not exceed 25 mm; an optical lens adjacent to the light emitting surfaces of the LED chips in said at least one array, wherein light originating from the LED chips of the at least one array is collected and directed by said lens towards an aquarium to illuminate the aquarium and wherein spectrum of light directed by the lens and reaching the aquarium has a higher proportion in intensity in the blue region of the visible spectrum than light emitted by a black body radiator at 6500° Kelvin, simulates filtering effect of water on natural sun light, and also promotes and enhances the growth of various forms of marine life in the aquarium; and a reflector surrounding said at least one array reflecting light emitted by the LED chips of the at least one array towards the aquarium.
