Are you still relying on outdated metal halide lamps for your aquaculture operations? If so, it’s time to dive into the future of fish farming with LED lighting! As aquaculture scales up, the need for efficient, sustainable, and fish-friendly lighting solutions has never been more critical. Let's explore why LEDs are the shining stars of the underwater world.
The Downside of Metal Halide Lamps

Since their debut in 1961, metal halide lamps have been a staple in various industries, including aquaculture. While they initially dazzled with their impressive 120 LM/W efficiency, their flickering light can have hidden consequences for fish welfare. Operating on alternating current (AC) at 50 or 60Hz, these lamps produce a light flicker that can disturb Atlantic salmon and other species, whose flicker fusion frequency (FFF) hovers around 30-50Hz(see LUXCOB's fish eye visual analysis report for details). In simple terms, this translates to less happy fish — and that’s not good for your farm!
Why LEDs Are Making Waves

Now, enter LEDs, the revolutionizing force in fish farming and lighting technology! Unlike metal halide lamps, LEDs operate on direct current (DC) with frequencies above 100Hz, eliminating flickering and ensuring a calm visual environment for your aquatic friends. This means happier, healthier fish and better growth rates — a win-win for any aquaculture business!
