Available matte black, the Mazarra is not only just a lighting fixture for your aquarium, but also a centerpiece of your living area.

Mazarra’ s Fully Customizable Design
The Mazarra was designed with one goal in mind: Customizable – letting the user take full control over the lighting system.

State-of-the-art Technology
The Mazarra utilizes state-of-the-art technologies, from wireless controller to latest LED chips, offering optimized performance and unparalleled energy efficiency.

Unparalleled Efficiency
The Cree XLamp® XM-L chip is capable of producing up to 180 lumen/watt. This means at the same wattage it can produce up to 250% more luminous output than an older generation model.
With this advanced technology, a standard Mazarra system consuming a mere 120w of power will be able to out-perform the 160w model from the previous generation.

Mix-and-Match, Plug-and-Play
Mazarra is the only LED Lighting System available on the market that offers both plug-and-play LED bulb replacement design and LED bulbs covering the entire color spectrum, allowing maximum customization and flexibility.

Unlike traditional Metal Halide, T5HO fixtures or even typical LED systems that predetermined the spectrum, Mazarra allows you to pick the right spectrum for your aquarium, and bring out that color from your corals exactly like you have always dreamed of.

Modularized
The modular Mazarra system offers unprecedented scalability to all your lighting needs. With its wireless connectivity, adding a module is as easy as plug-and-play.

Passive Cooling
With the new Cree XLamp® XM-L chip, higher efficiency means less power is consumed and the Mazarra runs cooler than its predecessors.
Together with an ingenious aerodynamic design, the Mazarra is passively cooled when warm air passes through its aluminum chassis.

Versatile Mounting System
The uniquely designed Support Frame that will fit aquariums of all sizes and shapes, paired with the adjustable Platform Mount, by sliding and mounting the LED module at an angle, you can now take full control of your lighting system, directing light exactly where you wanted.

Cree XLamp® XM-L chip
Utilizing the latest Cree high performance high intensity XLamp® XM-L chip, the Mazarra will consume less power yet producing more PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) for even your most demanding corals. Each lens can de selected from 3 different angles, with 70 degrees being the standard.

Controlled Intensity
Each individual LED bulb is fitted with swappable optics, letting you to choose between spread and intensity.

Fully Programmable Photoperiod
The Mazarra can be programmed to control the photoperiod and brightness of the system throughout the day.

Weather Mode
The Weather mode will simulate the effect of clouds slowly moving across the sky, casting shadows over the ocean.
As clouds slowly move across the sky, casting shadow over the ocean, the amount of sunlight received near the surface of the ocean dramatically reduced. By changing different parameters such as thickness of clouds and the speed they move at, you can program your Mazarra LED Lighting System to simulate any given day as sunny, cloudy, windy, overcast or rainy.

Dawn/Dusk Mode
When more than one Mazarra LED Module is connected to the Controller Unit, you can activate the Dawn/Dusk mode will simulate the effect of the sun slowly rises and sets over the horizon.
