What should be paid attention to in the aquarium lighting construction?

Because of the current economic development, the aquarium industry is also advancing rapidly, and the construction requirements for various aquariums are also very cumbersome and important. There are many types of aquarium lighting fixtures, so the construction method of each lighting installation is also different. The aquarium company should have its own installation team and have certain work experience. Although the installation process is cumbersome, the methods used for installation are similar. As long as you have to fully understand the size, shape and breeding situation of your aquarium before choosing aquarium lamps.
In order to make the audience who enter the aquarium live in the environment of marine animals, it is necessary to use background lighting to set off the environment and render the atmosphere, and to give the audience a rich artistic appeal, thereby enhancing their appreciation. In order to get a good contrast effect, high-power lights should not be used for background lighting, but light blue fluorescent lights should be used. Blue is a calm color, which is reminiscent of the blue ocean. It is not appropriate to use direct lighting for the arrangement of lamps, but indirect lighting such as eaves with reflectors or luminous ceilings with artistic patterns should be used. At the same time, in order to create good visual conditions for the audience, the ratio of the illuminance of the background lighting to the illuminance of the objects displayed in the aquarium cannot be greater than 1:3. Otherwise, a mirror image will be produced. Because the audience views the exhibits through glass, the images of the visitors themselves or surrounding objects are often reflected on the glossy surface, which hinders the viewing of the exhibits. For example, the background lighting of the Ocean Aquarium in Hong Kong Ocean Park has very low illuminance, and the mirror surface of some exhibition windows has the phenomenon of mirror reflection.
During the construction of the aquarium, in order to achieve the effect of light, the lighting lamp should be directly irradiated to the aquarium as much as possible. The aquarium cover not only prevents dust from falling into the aquarium, it is also an ideal location for installing aquarium lights. Install the aquarium lighting lamp in the enclosure, and at the same time paint the inner wall of the enclosure white to make the light source illuminate from top to bottom, the lighting effect will be more ideal. However, you must not use tin foil as a lining. The tin foil will block the special ventilation holes on the box cover, which will not be conducive to the emission of carbon dioxide and the heat of the light.
Because the aquarium lamps are used in the harsh environment of the tide, special attention should be paid to safety issues such as waterproofing. The aquarium lamp is installed close to the water surface. The water splashed by fish, bubble stones or filters often falls on the hot lamp tube, which may cause an explosion. Waterproof lamps should be used to prevent the erosion of the feed water, and a glass cover should be added to the aquarium to separate the feed water from the reflector cover. In addition, a corner of the glass plate should be cut off to serve as a passage for air pipes and filter water pipes.
Installation Precautions
1. Do not use glass covers with contaminants
2. Don't switch the lights suddenly, otherwise it will scare the fish. When turning off the lights, turn off the aquarium lighting first, and then turn off the indoor lighting. When turning on the lights, turn on the indoor lights first, and then turn on the lights of the aquarium.
3. Use waterproof lamps and wiring ports.
4. Do not install the light in the water.
5. The lampshade should have ventilation holes.
The architectural lighting design of modern ocean aquariums should make full use of modern architectural electrical technology, equipment and methods, so as to not only make the lighting function of the aquarium more perfect and applicable, use more reasonable and safer, but also make it more artistic and attractive force.
