Orphek Unveils Revolutionary Natura iCon Reef LED Light: The Future of Reef Aquarium Illumination

[SabrinaC]

To use the Fixing Bracket Kit, you would need 3x Fixing Bracket Kits.
One pair for each Natura.

Then add the OR4 bars on the font and back and the whole thing becomes one large lighting structure

It’s only 1 Natura and 2 OR4’s. The holes in the Universal Fixing Bracket do not line up with the holes in the Natura.

So you can see what I’m talking about. I line 1 hole up, but the other is in between 2 on the bracket. No matter which I try.

Kinda new to these lights. Been reading about them. On a 4 foot tank I would need 2 correct.
Also if these ligjts are all that, why put the light bars ?

 

[lbacha]

I would need a bracket to attach the lights to an existing 80 20 mounting system. This is my current mounting system and being able to move the lights up to work in the tank is not something I would be willing to sacrifice.

The lights need to attach here

EDIT : this is a radion bracket to give an idea. I just drilled a hole in the center of the bracket when I ran xr15s. Something similar to to fit the atlas would really expand the mounting options for those of us that already have a mounting system in place.

If the Natura used the same cap nut as the Atlantik thin it will slide right into 15 series 80/20. This is how I mounted my Atlantiks. I looked and it does seem the Natura comes with the same cap nuts but Tommy would need to confirm. The last 2 pictures are my 80/20 light rack that is hinged like yours.

Soo @Orphek Tom got an answer? not so universal? Kind of an unfortunate oversight in the design dept.

To o/p..sadly it isn't listed as compatible.. I see a return or a drill in your future..

I ordered mine from their pre-release a few months back. I'm a complete newbie to the reef world, but I've enjoyed the lights. The build quality and craftsmanship are really impressive.

I built my chassis using a cantilever setup with parts from 8020.

I guess I shouldn’t have assumed that since it said Universal it would fit these as well.

Can’t you just drill a new hole?

 

[SabrinaC]

Can’t you just drill a new hole?

I can definitely find someone to help me with that. I was just hoping there was a way to do it that I just completely missed without putting another hole in it.

If you haven't yet, I'd definitely suggest reaching out to @Orphek to ask about any solution they may have

I did and unfortunately they couldn’t help.

 

[Daniel@R2R]

Ah. Ok. Figured it was worth checking before drilling, but it seems you may need to go with the DIY option. Only other idea I would have would be to use some sort of a bridge bracket to bridge the gap between the hole in the bracket and the hole in the light.

 

[Cool tangs]

Great lights! Awesome features, great spread, shimmer is insane, well balanced with the ability to go very blue in the arvo. I'm very happy with my purchase and I think my corals are as well

DAILY QUESTION: What’s your favorite feature of the Orphek Natura iCon Reef LED Light?

The spectrum!

The mount arm and fixing brackets come out many years before the natura and fit for Atlantik icon and OR3. To order part that support natura please enter in contact with our support .

The Natura pages has a link to a mounting arm for the unit:

"You can hang your Natura iCon with the hanging kit that comes with the light free of charge, or using the Orphek Mounting Arm Kit which needs to be purchased separately."

I bought it and it doesn't with with this light. I contacted them and they said for another$95 they would send me an adapter. Lousy solution in my opinion. A universal mount made by same company and it doesn't fit.

[KristineV]

Can’t you just drill a new hole?

Threaded..

Sure, here's an improved version of your message:

Hi,

If you previously purchased the amount arm and wish to fit it to the Natura model, you can get the extra part for free—just cover the shipping cost. Hope this clarifies things.

Alternatively, you can drill a hole in the aluminum, as it is easy to work with.
