Description

  The present invention relates to an LED (light-emitting diode) lamp device for an aquarium. More specifically, the present invention is easy to install in accordance with various installation conditions regardless of the size of the aquarium. It is related with the LED lamp apparatus for aquariums useful for a growth environment.

  Optical semiconductors that use light sources such as LEDs, organic light-emitting diodes, laser diodes, and organic electroluminescent diodes have a long service life and excellent durability even though they consume less power than hundred-heated and fluorescent lamps. In addition, it has a much higher luminance than other lighting devices compared to power consumption, and is one of the components that have recently been spotlighted as lighting devices.

  From this point of view, recently, aquarium water tanks tend to use optical semiconductors such as LEDs for illumination.

  Here, the illumination used for the aquarium water tank has the following characteristics that are different from normal illumination.

  In other words, the lighting used in the aquarium tank requires an LED that emits a very large amount of light when applied to a specific type of aquatic plants. If you do, it will help the growth of aquatic plants.

  Moreover, the hue of the illumination used for the aquarium tank must be applied by changing the wavelength or illuminance of the light to be irradiated according to a specific fish species, salmon or the like.

  In other words, blue and reddish fish have the effect of using blue and reddish LEDs more effectively, and in the case of moss, light of blue wavelength is effective.

  However, the lighting used for existing aquarium tanks is only produced in two hues specified by the manufacturer, so there are few options for the user, and the range of light orientation angles and illuminance are almost fixed. Therefore, there is a problem that it cannot cope with various growth conditions and installation environments as described above.

  In particular, the illumination used for the existing aquarium water tanks is mostly difficult to apply when the size of the aquarium is different because it has an array structure LED fixed to a single lighting device. was there.

  In addition, as illumination used for the existing aquarium tank, the illuminance is dark or bright depending on the size of the aquarium tank, or different lighting is used for different colors. There was a problem of being forced to purchase products.

  In particular, since each wavelength, color temperature, or concentration degree differs depending on the type of LED, it may not be possible to change the wavelength.

  For example, since the color temperature of the LED is very high, using a very bright one can produce an effect that the shadow of the water inside the aquarium is flashy and is excellent in visibility, When such an LED is used as illumination, there is a limit that it is too bright and other conditions, for example, a condition such as producing a different color sensation or realizing sensitivity illumination by darkening must be given up.

  The present invention has been devised in order to improve the above-mentioned problems, and can be easily attached to various installation conditions regardless of the size of the aquarium, and is useful for the growth environment inside the aquarium.
