ACLS - Advanced Control Lighting System
Sfiligoi's ACLS can reproduce the natural biologic cycle of the sun, day/night and the seasons on the aquarium habitat: so the passage from daylight to dusk is very gradual and consequently there is no shock for the animals and invertebrates in the aquarium.
During the sunrise-sunset phases the dimmer reduces the power the lamp absorbs and consequently grants high energy savings in comparison with common ferromagnetic reactors with a 92% rent.
The electronic dimmer keeps the light flow extremely stable to avoid flickering problems of exhausted lights (250 Hz using squared wave). You have the possibility to use also lamps almost exhausted with a fairly good light flow (the bulb duration increases of 30-40%). Further, after the tension falls, ACLS allows turning on of the lamp reducing the time by 50% in comparison with common ferromagnetic reactor.
The opinion of the experts in field is that the creation of the natural conditions of sun and moon light, and in particular of the moon phases, could help the reproduction of the aquarium guests, especially of the invertebrates.
Special dip-switches control the duration of the sunrise-sunset effect which can be personalized the duration of the maximum lighting flow (“midday”) the moonlight latitude longitude cloudy days reduction of the lighting flow reduction of the lamp power standard timer for HQI lamps (output relay) timer for actinic tubes (output relay) timer for moon phases lamp (using a suitable bulb) the watch/datary-timer into the ACLS (day/month/time)
