Taking light measurements to a new level

PARwise Pro

Perfect growth rates require three things: the right wavelengths, the right light intensity and both for the right amount of time. Light changes with depth and brightness, just like the demands of plants and animals - PARwise PRO does it all and more!

PARwise PRO takes light measurement to a new level, with an extended spectral range and introduces cPUR – the new gold standard in coral lighting measurement.

What extra does the PARwise Pro offer you?

In addition to the 8 new parameters and a wider spectral measurement range - for the hobbyist it gives them the confidence that you are setting your spectrum correctly rather than just measuring it. For every coral saved and coral growth improved, PARwise PRO pays for itself very quickly.

cPUR explained

cPUR - 'Coral Photosynthetically Usable Radiation' is a light measurement specifically designed for corals. PAR does not tell us whether the light we are measuring is good for coral growth. You can have a high PAR level but it could all be in the wrong part of the spectrum. As a measurement it is very outdated!

PARwise helped alleviate that problem by allowing users to measure the spectrum, but it didn't go so far as to tell the user what to do.

PARwise PRO and cPUR take this to the next level and remove this extra step in one measurement, while also offering a much larger spectral measurement range and additional features. The cPUR measurement only includes the light wavelengths and intensity that corals can use and excludes the wavelengths that corals do not use efficiently for photosynthetic processes or fluorescent protein

What else is new with the PARwise PRO?

Extra spectral range

Now with NEAR UV-A and infrared spectrum analyzer

• PARwise PRO now measures from 350 nm to 1100 nm
• Our spectrum measurement now includes Near UV-A & Infrared –
• Pick up all the important NUV wavelengths for corals and wasted energy in heat from IR! - You can even see the yellow light and heat of a flame!
• Enhanced Time Analyzer - cPUR Over Time

Daily Light Integral (DLI) is based on the PAR spectrum – to
To replace this outdated measurement, we now have cPUR Light Integral to use. This
gives us the ability to measure appropriate coral light levels over time, using
the cPUR-weighted result.
