SolaRay 4k Sphere LED is a 6yo Reef Light REVIVE

SolaRay 4k Sphere LED is a 6yo Reef Light REVIVE

Reef Builders recently wrote an article about our new light, Coral's Coral SolaRay 4k Sphere LED Reef Light. While this article does share some good points about manufacturing, there are several assumptions and inaccuracies regarding the SolaRay 4k. We've reached out to Reef Builders, but they don't seem to care to fix these inaccuracies, so we'd like to provide some clarity here.

Reef Builders' article proclaims that the SolaRay 4k is a 6 year old reef light rebadge, but we're here to shout from the rooftops that the SolaRay 4k is not a rebadge but a REVIVE of an amazing fixture that was before it's time.

The SolaRay 4k is an iteration of a fixture first produced by Sanrise in 2016. Sporting a unique form factor, Wi-Fi capabilities, and quality parts, the Sanrise fixture was a great option for reefers... but never really took off.
Once we discovered the fixture, we saw a great opportunity to revive an amazing idea that just needed a little extra oomph. Keeping the unique form factor, the LED chip was completely rethought. Color spectrum, LED arrangement, and number of bulbs was completely redone to optimize coral growth and color. This completely transforms the user experience.

Additionally, the original plastic optics (reminiscent of AI Prime 16 HD) were replaced with an ultra-clear, wide angle glass dome, which aids in better color mixing, spread, light penetration, and will never be burned or melted by the LEDs.
Third, the mount was updated to be more sturdy and sleek, with the extra feature of hiding the power cord. With all these updates, the SolaRay 4k definitely qualifies as a new product on the market ready to take the industry by storm.

We get messages daily from people that have the SolaRay 4k over their reef, sharing their excitement about corals coloring up, growing great, and their tank looking awesome... and we know if you give it a shot you'll love it too.
So stop waiting, and start seeing your reef in 4k!
