Experience the Next Level in Reef Lighting

Introducing the ReefBreeders Meridian Series:

The Meridian is more than just a light. It is a complete lighting system designed for reliability, adaptability, and long-term performance. Every aspect has been engineered to provide optimal results while maintaining the flexibility needed for evolving reef setups.

At its core, the Meridian delivers a refined spectrum that includes 440nm indigo LEDs. This wavelength is rarely found in aquarium lighting, yet it plays a critical role in coral health. The Meridian provides an extended violet range from 400nm to 440nm, ensuring corals receive the essential wavelengths that drive growth, coloration, and overall vitality.

The Meridian is one of the most modular and expandable lights available. It supports multiple units and Edge Bars on a single power supply, allowing for up to 600 watts of combined output while reducing the number of required outlets. This design maximizes efficiency without sacrificing performance, making it easier to manage power distribution in complex reef systems.

Installation is designed for maximum flexibility. The Meridian can be suspended, mounted to the back or sides of the tank, or integrated into a T-track system for a secure and customizable setup. The Integrated Connection System allows seamless end-to-end linking, while Edge Articulating Mounts enable precise adjustments for optimal coverage.

Optics are another defining feature of the Meridian. The Ocular Holo Matrix system provides three distinct spread patterns, with additional options in development. These interchangeable optics allow users to fine-tune light distribution based on tank depth, coral placement, and aquascape structure.

Control is intuitive and adaptable. The ReefBreeders app provides cloud-based access via WiFi, Bluetooth enables direct local adjustments, and the optional Manual Controller offers intuitive on-device control. Users can control power, adjust spectrum settings, and program timed lighting cycles, including smooth sunrise and sunset transitions.

Designed for longevity, the Meridian is built with a long-term commitment to support and parts availability. Whether upgrading from an older system or starting fresh, the Meridian provides a lighting solution that is powerful, adaptable, and built to meet the demands of serious reef keepers.

• Adjustable M6x1.0mm bolts on top of case
• Note: Mounting hardware such as side legs, back-of-tank mounts, and hanging wires are sold separately.
• Front and rear tracks for mounting Edge Bars
• Port on top of light case for attaching Manual Controller
• 2.4GHz WiFi control (Bluetooth available soon) via ReefBreeders app

Original LED Layout:

Designed with a high white-to-blue color ratio, based on the most popular lighting schedules created by Photon users. The original layout has a 20K blue appearance with all channels equal, and includes two additional 440nm indigo LEDs on a dedicated control channel, for a total of four (versus two in the 14K layout).

14K LED Layout:

The 14K LED layout differs from the original spectrum by doubling the number of white LEDs for a more natural, shallow-water reef appearance. The 3.5K warm white LEDs are separated from the 5.5K neutral whites, allowing enhanced color tuning. Warm whites can be increased for a warmer tone, or cool whites boosted for a crisp, bright look.
