Ai PRIME 16HD Freshwater white

Ai PRIME 16HD freshwater with the latest LED lamp from Ai for your freshwater aquarium

This is a Freshwater LED and it is not recommended for Saltwater. Introducing the new Freshwater Prime 16HD series of LED lights.

Control via Bluetooth via BLE – No more WIFI

The myAI® app connects through your phone to the AI LED using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), allowing you to set up and program schedules and settings. The Prime HD will be replaced with the Prime 16HD, offering more color, more spread, more power, and a more refined design—all while maintaining the quality that made AI lights popular. The best part is that the new Prime and Hydras are available at the same price* as the current 26, 52, and Primes (US MRP and price are always subject to change).

Most Impressive Features

• More LEDs
• More PAR
• More Spread
• Improved Optic Design
• Improved Water Resistance
• Thinner Form Factor
• Dedicated Moonlight Channel
• Wider Spectrum (more channels)

Still Impressive

• The best value aquarium lighting on the market
• MyAI app control
• HD overdrive capability (route power to the spectrum you need)
• AI customer support
• Numerous mounting options

The bracket for the 32HD and 64HD on the flex mount will change in the Flex Arm packaging. However, HMS mounting solutions remain the same, and Prime mounting solutions are also unchanged.

Design

Redesigning the plastics in the Prime and Hydra lineup has resulted in two major benefits: better efficiency and improved aesthetics. Efficiency improvements reduce the demands on active cooling, leading to longer component life. Design enhancements thin the fixtures, reducing their overall profile and presence over your aquarium.

Resilient

Water resistance is a significant advantage in aquarium lighting. While the new Prime and Hydras are not waterproof, design improvements make them more capable of handling the moisture-rich environments typical in reef keeping.

Moonlight

A dedicated moonlight LED and channel have been added in the new Prime HD, Prime FW, Hydra 32HD, and Hydra 64HD modules. This allows for independent moonlighting designed to simulate the natural lunar color and intensity.

Control

Control of the lights will utilize the existing myAI® app, which is free, simple, and very quick to program, offering onsite direct BLE connection through your smart device. Additional control options may become available for the new generation of Prime and Hydras over time.

Optics and Output

Output in terms of PAR, color mixing, and spread is all improved with the new fixtures. The inclusion of more LEDs provides a more targeted full spectrum, while TIR lenses shape the light’s output and enhance its efficiency. The result is more vibrant colors, a slightly wider output area, and higher average PAR. A combination of LED placement and lens geometry further reduces color separation.

HD Functionality

AI’s popular HD functionality allows users to route unused power from one color channel to another. This much-loved feature from the previous generation HD fixtures is retained in the new product names (Prime 16HD, Hydra 32HD, and 64HD).

Mounting

Mounting hardware available for Hydra and Prime fixtures will be compatible with the new version lights. The only exception is the Hydra Flex arm, which will require a different light bracket due to size differences in the new fixtures. The Flex arm bracket will change with the new fixtures, and older flex arms will need a new light bracket to mount the new lights.
