Have Questions About biOrb Lighting?
We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.
What types of lighting are available for biOrb aquariums?
biOrb offers several lighting options including Standard LED lights, MCR (Multi-Colour Remote) lighting systems, and Automatic LED lights. MCR lighting allows you to control colour, brightness, and set timed cycles, while standard LED units provide crisp, white illumination. Automatic lights simulate natural day and night transitions on a 24-hour cycle.
What is MCR lighting and how does it work?
MCR stands for Multi-Colour Remote. This lighting system gives you 16 colour options and allows you to set 4 timer cycles (4, 8, 10, or 14 hours). You can adjust the brightness and control the lighting using the included remote control, offering full customisation of your aquarium’s ambiance.
Why isn’t my biOrb light turning on?
If your biOrb light is not working, it could be due to a power connection issue, a faulty power supply, or a need to replace the light unit. For MCR models, check the remote battery or try resetting the timer. If the issue persists, it may be time for a replacement light.
How do I know which biOrb light is compatible with my tank?
Lighting compatibility depends on your biOrb model and size. Most biOrb CLASSIC, FLOW, and TUBE models support both standard LED and MCR systems. biOrb LIFE and HALO models typically use MCR lighting exclusively. Always check the product specifications or consult with our team to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
Can I upgrade my current biOrb light to an MCR light?
Yes, many biOrb aquariums can be upgraded to MCR lighting using an official biOrb MCR Light Kit. These kits typically include the light unit, remote, and installation components designed to fit your tank. It’s a simple and effective way to add colour control and automation to your aquarium.
