Description
Product Overview
Give your marine filtration a smarter boost with the UNS Mini Refugium Light. Made for saltwater tanks, this low‑profile LED is built to drive strong photosynthesis in nutrient‑exporting macroalgae, and the clip‑on model uses a rugged, universal rim‑clamp so it snaps onto almost any standard rimless glass or acrylic panel. That means it saves space, stays out of the way, and delivers focused, usable PAR exactly where your algae bed needs it.
Key Features & Benefits
Targeted Macroalgae Spectrum: Combines 6000K white, deep reds (620nm & 660nm), violet (420nm), and blue (470nm) to maximize photosynthetic efficiency in Chaetomorpha and Caulerpa for superior nitrate and phosphate export.
Universal 21mm Rim Clamp: Heavy-duty bracket secures effortlessly onto rimless glass panels or acrylic sump baffles up to 21mm thick in seconds.
Adjustable Color Modes & Dimming: Selectable spectrum combinations and dimming stages grant total creative control to fine-tune light intensity to match your biological load.
Smart Inline Timer with Memory: Automates your refugium’s reverse photo-cycle while preserving your custom spectrum and timing preferences during unexpected power outages.
IP63 Moisture-Resistant Construction: Sealed unibody design insulates sensitive LED components against corrosive salt creep, high evaporation, and direct water splashes.
Technical Specifications
Please check your glass or acrylic wall thickness before installation to ensure proper clamp fitment.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is the Clip-On model different from the Magnetized UNS Mini Refugium Light?
While the Magnetized version is tailored specifically for UNS Dual AIO chambers and UNS Reef System sump lids, this Clip-On version features a universal clamp designed to attach securely to any standard rimless glass or acrylic panel up to 21mm thick.
2. Why is running a reverse photoperiod on a refugium beneficial?
Running your refugium light at night while your primary display light is turned off keeps photosynthesis active in your system overnight. This helps stabilize water pH and prevents nighttime pH drops caused by livestock respiration.
3. Can I use this light on acrylic sump baffles?
Yes! The heavy-duty clip expands up to 21mm, making it ideal for clamping directly onto acrylic sump dividers, rear filtration baffles, or glass walls.
