LUMORA™ Frequently Asked Questions

What is LUMORA™? 

LUMORA™ is Waterbox’s premium reef LED lighting system, engineered to deliver exceptional coral growth, vibrant coloration, and intuitive control in a sleek, modern design. 

Powered by a carefully balanced multi-channel spectrum, high-efficiency OSRAM LEDs, and the High Transmittance Lens Array™, LUMORA™ provides the performance reef keepers demand while simplifying setup and daily operation. 

Can LUMORA™ be used on freshwater aquariums? 

LUMORA™ was specifically designed and optimized for reef aquariums. While it can illuminate freshwater aquariums, its spectrum is engineered for coral growth and coloration rather than planted freshwater systems.

When switching from another LED light to LUMORA™, how should I adjust my settings? 

LUMORA™ fixtures produce significantly higher PAR than many comparable LED lights. To help prevent coral stress or bleaching, begin at 20–40% intensity regardless of your previous lighting settings. 

Increase intensity by 5–10% every two weeks while carefully monitoring your corals for signs of stress. 

Every aquarium is different. Coral species, tank depth, mounting height, aquascape, and water clarity all affect the amount of light your corals receive. A slow acclimation process will provide the best results and help ensure long-term coral health and growth. 

What size aquariums is LUMORA™ designed for? 

LUMORA™ is ideal for a wide range of reef aquariums, from nano systems to larger SPS-dominated reefs. Coverage depends on aquarium dimensions, coral placement, and desired light intensity. 

As a general guideline: 

  • 1 LUMORA™: Up to 24” × 24” 
  • 2 LUMORA™: Up to 48” × 24” 
  • 3 LUMORA™: Up to 72” × 24” 

Wider aquariums, deeper tanks, or SPS-dominant reefs may require additional fixtures to achieve optimal coverage and PAR. 

What corals can LUMORA™ support? 

LUMORA™ is designed to support virtually all common reef corals, including: 

  • Soft corals 
  • LPS corals 
  • SPS corals 
  • Clams 

Proper fixture quantity, mounting height, and intensity settings should be selected based on your aquarium dimensions and livestock requirements. 

Can I control LUMORA™ with my smartphone or tablet? 

Yes. The Waterbox Aquariums app allows you to create schedules, adjust individual color channels, select lighting presets, group multiple fixtures, and customize every aspect of your lighting.

Does LUMORA™ include preset lighting programs?

Yes. The Waterbox Aquariums app includes four professionally developed presets: 

Mixed Reef Ideal for mixed reef aquariums, this preset transitions from a blue sunrise into a balanced full-spectrum daylight designed to support the healthy growth and coloration of LPS, soft corals, and many mixed reef systems. An extended blue evening period enhances coral fluorescence for beautiful nighttime viewing. 

SPS Designed for SPS-dominant reefs, this preset transitions from a blue sunrise into a crisp, high-output daylight with increased white spectrum to promote optimal coral growth and coloration. The day concludes with an extended blue viewing period that maximizes coral fluorescence for stunning nighttime viewing. 

Reef Glow A vibrant, crisp blue spectrum that maximizes coral fluorescence while maintaining a clean, natural appearance throughout the day. Designed to enhance the vivid colors of SPS, LPS, and soft corals, this preset transitions into an extended blue moonlight period for exceptional after-dark viewing.
