ATI® Aquaristik Lighting | Professional LED & T5 Solutions

ATI® Aquaristik is a global leader in marine lighting technology, dedicated to providing the precise light energy required for coral photosynthesis and vivid coloration. By combining over 25 years of German engineering with modern data from the ATI® Lab, our lighting systems—from the Straton X LED to our world-renowned T5 bulbs—deliver uncompromising performance for professional and hobbyist reef keepers alike.

What makes ATI® Lighting the professional choice?

ATI® lighting systems are designed with a "biology-first" approach. Whether utilizing the advanced Soft Shadow Technology of the Straton LED series or the stable, shadow-filling spectral blanket of ATI® T5 bulbs, our systems ensure that every coral receives the PAR and spectrum necessary for long-term health.

Core Lighting Technologies

• Straton X LED: An ultra-slim (9mm), passively cooled LED powerhouse that operates in total silence while delivering up to 800 PAR.

• Soft Shadow Technology: Utilizes 100 individual light sources across a large surface area to eliminate hotspots and minimize self-shading on coral colonies.

• Industry-Standard T5s: The most proven light source in reef keeping history, perfect for standalone use or as a hybrid supplement to LEDs.

• Reef Pilot App: Intelligent wireless control that allows you to program gradients, monitor real-time PAR values, and adopt proven lighting templates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of passive cooling in the ATI® Straton X?

Passive cooling uses the aluminum housing itself to dissipate heat. This eliminates the need for fans, making the light completely silent and removing a common mechanical failure point, which extends the lifespan of the LEDs.

Can I use ATI® T5 bulbs with my existing LED lights?

Yes. ATI® T5 bulbs are the ideal supplement for LED systems. They provide a "blanket" of light that fills in the shadows created by point-source LEDs, ensuring that the sides and bases of your corals receive adequate light.

How many channels of control does the Straton X have?

The Straton X features seven independent color channels, allowing you to fine-tune everything from deep UV and Violet to crisp Daylight and Cyan.
