ITC PARwise PRO

The ITC PARwise Pro light meter takes light measurements to a new level and introduces a new gold standard for coral lighting measurements with cPUR (Coral Photosynthetically Usable Radiation). Perfect coral growth rates require three factors: the right wavelengths, the appropriate light intensity, and a suitable exposure duration. As light changes with depth and clarity, and the needs of plants and animals vary, the PARwise Pro allows for precise lighting adjustments.

Key features of the PARwise Pro:

• Extended spectral range: Measures light from 350 nm to 1100 nm, including near-UV-A and infrared, to capture all the essential wavelengths for corals.

• cPUR technology: Provides a light measurement specifically designed for corals by considering only the wavelengths and intensities that corals can use for photosynthetic processes.

• Versatile measurement functions: In addition to cPUR, the device measures parameters such as PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), LUX, Kelvin (color temperature), DLI (Daily Light Integral), YPF (Yield Photon Flux), CQS (Color Quality Scale), CRI (Color Rendering Index), purity, dominant wavelength, and CIE X/Y color coordinates.

For aquarium enthusiasts, the PARwise Pro ensures the light spectrum is correctly set, rather than just being measured. Any improvement in coral growth helps the investment in the PARwise Pro quickly pay off.

Technical specifications:

• Spectral range: 350 nm to 1100 nm

• Measurement modes: Air, freshwater, and seawater

• Connectivity: USB connection with a web-based app for PC, Mac, and Android devices

The PARwise Pro is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to optimize their aquarium lighting and improve the growth and health of their corals.
