sera LED moonlight
The LED lamp can be attached to the aquarium glass
or any other smooth surface by means of the two in-
cluded double suction cup holders. The lamp should
be installed above the water surface. The
sera LED
moonlight
can also be integrated into an overtank
luminaire such as the
sera LED fiXture
. The clips re-
quired to do so are available in pairs as accessories.
A special silver moon foil is also included. It can be
attached to the glass tube for making the light appear
more diffuse. This is suitable for very small tanks or

nation
Dimming up and down from
0 – 100% – 0%, each
lasting 30* minutes at the
maximum
F2

simulation
Smooth reduction to 10%
of the adjusted brightness
(every 20 minutes for 90
seconds)
(* The dimming phase may be shorter in programs
with low brightness.)
In program F3, the lighting is reduced to 10% of the
adjusted light brightness every 20 minutes for slightly
more than a minute. However, this cloud scenario
begins only one hour after moonrise.
6. Setting the moon phase – selecting the day
The programmed moon calendar begins with full
moon, unless you select another day in the moon
calendar.
You must select the day in the programmed syn-
odical calendar if you wish to operate the
sera LED
Digital Moonlight Timer
according to the actual
moon phases. Day 1 represents “full moon”, and
day 15 is “new moon”. The time between full moon
and new moon is called waning moon (chart symbol:
), after new moon it is called waxing moon (chart
symbol:
). The current moon phase is easy to find
on the Internet using “moon calendar” as a keyword.
