MultiLux LED is the twin-tube light unit that sits inside a Juwel hood. It is the straightforward way to move an older Juwel aquarium from fluorescent to LED — the unit is the same size ladder as the T5 High-Lite unit it replaces, so it drops into the existing hood with no other changes. It ships with two replaceable glass LED tubes, one DAY 9000 K and one NATURE 6500 K, and Juwel claims up to 50% less energy than the equivalent T5 pair.
It is not dimmable, and there is no controller for it. Juwel is direct about this: the factory MultiLux LED has no dimming, no sunrise ramp and no controller port, and there is no upgrade path within the MultiLux family. If you want scheduling and colour control, the move is a HeliaLux Spectrum bar plus AppControl, not this unit.
Swap the unit, not the tubes. LED tubes cannot go into a T5 unit — the two look near-identical but the control gear inside differs. Replacing the whole unit is what makes the conversion work.
Choosing a size
Order by unit length, not by tank litres. Each size is listed with the tanks Juwel fits it to:
- 55cm — Trigon 350 (front unit)
- 60cm — Lido 120
- 70cm — Lido 200, Trigon 190
- 80cm — Rio 125
- 92cm — Vision 180
- 100cm — Rio 180, Trigon 350 (rear unit)
- 120cm — Rio 240, Rio 350, Vision 260
- 150cm — Rio 450, Vision 450
A Trigon 350 takes two different units — a 55 and a 100. Check which one you are replacing; this is the most common wrong order in the range.
Replacement tubes: LED Day, LED Nature, LED Colour, LED Marine and LED Blue.
