Usage Features

The MultiLux LED light unit offers several features to enhance the aquarium experience:

Waterproof Design: The light unit is waterproof, allowing users to perform aquarium maintenance without needing to remove the lighting.
Easy Installation: The light unit is designed for straightforward installation. After ensuring tube holders are firmly connected, it can be placed on the aquarium's top frame and connected to the power supply. Flaps are then attached to close the aquarium. It is crucial to ensure the top frame and cover hatch guide rails are free of obstructions like sand or gravel.
Automatic Shut-off: In case of a defect, the MultiLux LED light unit automatically switches itself off, indicating a potential issue.
Variety of LED Tubes: JUWEL offers a range of energy-saving LED light media, each designed for specific effects:
- LED DAY: Provides bright, invigorating light, ensuring brilliant illumination and promoting plant growth.
- LED NATURE: Produces warm, natural light, promoting plant photosynthesis and highlighting green colors in the aquarium.
- LED COLOUR: Creates a stimulating red light, emphasizing red and blue tones of fish and plants.
- LED BLUE: Specifically developed to simulate lighting conditions of coral reefs at depths of around six meters, encouraging coral growth.
- LED MARINE: Offers particularly bright, white light, simulating lighting conditions found in coral reefs.
Child Safety: The appliance can be used by children aged 8 and above and persons with reduced capabilities if supervised and instructed on safe use, understanding the hazards involved. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
Electrical Safety: Power plugs of electrical devices must remain dry. Connection cables should form a loop to prevent water from dripping onto the power supply. All electrical devices should be operated using an earth leakage circuit breaker (EL circuit breaker) with a maximum tripping current of 30 mA. If not available, a commercially available power strip with an integrated earth leakage circuit breaker should be used. Electrical devices are for indoor use only. Always pull power plugs of all devices operated in water before contact with water.

Maintenance Features

The MultiLux LED light unit requires minimal care and maintenance:

Cleaning: The frame should be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm water.
LED Tube Replacement:
1. Disconnect the power plug before replacing LED tubes.
2. Unscrew the tube holders and slide them over the LED tube.
3. Remove the LED tubes from the fittings.
4. Prepare the new LED tube by sliding the tube holders over it.
5. Insert the new LED tube into the fitting, ensuring correct positioning.
6. Screw the tube holders on tightly.
7. Reconnect the MultiLux LED to the power supply and switch the light unit back on.
Spare Parts: All spare parts, including LED tubes and fitting rings, are available as original JUWEL Aquarium spare parts from specialist dealers. Fitting rings should be replaced annually to maintain watertightness.
Troubleshooting: If replacing both LED tubes does not restore light function after a defect, it is recommended to purchase a new light unit, available as a spare part.
Safety During Maintenance:
- Avoid looking directly into the LED light source (Risk Class 2) to prevent eye damage.
- Pull the power plug for each LED tube replacement.
- The connection line cannot be repaired; replace the entire light unit if damaged.
- Do not operate the light unit underwater.
- Do not attempt to open or repair the light unit, as this could compromise its watertightness.
- Only use original JUWEL LED tubes, as they are coordinated with the electronic components of the MultiLux LED light unit.
