Since 2008 the AquaRay range of LED aquarium lighting has been a market leader in the field; bringing you all of the benefits of LED lighting in a modular package. Modularity allows you to add as much or as little light as you want. Unsure about LEDs? Why not buy a single strip to use as supplementary lighting? You can always add more later...
This modularity extends into our extremely versatile range of mounting accessories that allow the lights to be fitted into a hood, suspended or tank mounted in just about any situation possible.
AquaRay technology is available for both marine and freshwater applications to suit any conceivable aquarium setup from marine full reef to freshwater planted.
We at TMC work very closely with LED manufacturers including CREE and OSRAM to ensure that we source the best LEDs for the job; in some cases securing exclusive colours (such as high colour temperature whites) that aren't available anywhere else in the industry.
Our high power LED products are all hand built at TMC headquarters in the UK and are individually tested to ensure a top quality product. The units are also covered by a 5 year warranty* to give you extra peace of mind.
We are so confident in AquaRay lighting that we use it over our own aquariums - both at home and in our world renowned livestock holding facilities.

*5 year warranty on lamp units. 1 year for the power supply units.

Winner of Practical Fishkeeping Magazine's Marine Product of the Year 2009, 2010 & 2011
AquaBeam 600 Ultra Review saltytank.com July 2011:
"Installing the units was pretty easy... it took all of about 5 minutes to install into my hood and the screws provided fit flush to the hood and are barely visible."
"I only purchased one Duo unit to help me decide whether to go completely LED or continue to use T5's as well... This has made my decision for me and I will now be purchasing another three duo units and getting rid of my T5's."
"Maintenance is very easy. They don't have any moving parts and all that is needed is to wipe them every now and then with the cloth supplied. This will remove any salt deposits that have accumulated. That's it!"
"When handling the unit you can tell that its build quality is good - it feels sturdy and strong."
"I would like to congratulate TMC on a fantastic product. You have convinced someone who always shied away from using LEDs in aquariums. With your AquaRay I am now converted."
AquaBeam 1000 HD Ultra Review - Practical Fishkeeping Magazine October 2009:
"Rating: *****"
"I still like T5 and metal halide... however, I really like these HD units too."
"For the first time in ages my problem might not be cooling, and I'm going to enjoy paying less to power my hobby."
"Less light spread means my living room doesn't look like a UFO is landing at night now."
"I don't think you can get better lighting than these HD units for nano tanks either. Imagine their power! No coral or plant would be beyond reach in terms of lighting requirements."
"... since the launch of the AquaRay Modular Mounting System (MMS), TMC could possibly have created the most flexible mounting system available."
"TMC are proving that LED is a viable alternative."
AquaBeam 500 Review (the AquaBeam 600's predecessor) - Marine World Magazine August/September 2008:
"...one of the most eagerly anticipated products ever to have been made available to UK marine aquarists."
"The most striking thing about the effect that these units give is the 'shimmer' we might expect to experience when snorkeling in clear, shallow sunlit waters. Aquarists using metal halide lighting will familiar with this phenomenon to a certain extent but the impact is magnified with AquaRay... The effect is mesmerising and gives the entire aquarium a greater presence."
Talking about Ricordea mushroom anemones: "... we were pleased to note the enhancement by the AquaBeam LEDs of their fluorescent pigments. Previously housed under 150W 13000K metal halides, we noticed these specimens had colours not previously visible."
"... huge long term savings in both running costs and maintenance costs... this product makes a lot of sense to your purse or wallet."
"... solid state lighting is the future and with AquaBeam it's very bright indeed."
AquaBeam 500 Review (the AquaBeam 600's predecessor) - Ultramarine Magazine April/May 2008:
"Leaving a Reef Blue on for an hour after the other lights had gone out looked truly stunning... making a hammerhead coral I have look really impressive... it made me want to leave the Reef Blue lights on all night!"
"These really are the lights for the energy conscious aquarist."
"These new lights are a great addition to any new or current reef setup: I think at this moment in time they are a strong competitor to T5 and definitely T8 fluorescent tubes and even the lower powered metal halide systems."
