Description
Reef lighting built to grow coral, not just light up a tank.
The Ethereal-Infinite E8-230 packs 276 LEDs into a slim 1¼" aluminum housing, delivering serious PAR for demanding coral species without stepping outside its compact footprint. Maxspect's Coral Habitat Regions feature lets you dial your fixture to mimic the actual light conditions of reefs like the Great Barrier Reef, Bali, Palawan, Sabah, or Okinawa — dawn, dusk, and seasonal shifts included — instead of guessing at a generic "reef spectrum" setting. At WWC, we've run Maxspect fixtures over our own aquaculture systems, so we're not just reselling a spec sheet — we've watched how this light actually performs on coral over time.
What's Included
Unlike many fixtures on the market that require you to buy mounting hardware separately, the E8-230 comes ready to install: the light fixture itself, a full mounting bracket/arm kit (adjustable for rimless, euro-braced, or standard rimmed tanks), the attached flip-up shade, power supply, and instructions. No surprise add-on costs to get it running over your tank.
- Ethereal-Infinite E8-230 LED fixture
- Adjustable mounting arm/bracket kit
- Integrated flip-up light shade (auto-shutoff when raised for maintenance)
- Power supply
- Instruction manual
Why Reefers Are Moving to the E8-230
- 276 LEDs delivering a theoretical 762W of output while only drawing 230W — enough headroom to push demanding SPS and high-light coral without maxing out the fixture
- Redundant LED chip design — smoother spectral transitions and a longer usable lifespan than fixtures relying on fewer, higher-output diodes
- ~24" x 24" coverage — same footprint as the 150W model, so you get the extra intensity without needing a larger fixture
- Energy-Saving Mode — cuts power draw while still supporting lower-light coral species, useful if you want flexibility to run a mixed reef under one fixture
- Syna-G Cloud app control — adjust spectrum, schedule, and region presets remotely, right from your phone
- Flip-up mounting with auto shutoff — the fixture powers down automatically when flipped up for maintenance
- Mood lighting with music sync — 20+ ambient light patterns for display tanks, when you want the tank to be the centerpiece of a room
Backed by WWC
As a Maxspect partner, we stock the E8-230 because we run it ourselves — ask our team about pairing it with your tank size and coral mix, and we'll help you dial in a spectrum and schedule that actually matches what's in your system.
