Innovation of Juwel aquarium light
The LED profiles and connectors of the old light were placed under the cover, i.e. in permanent humidity. This resulted in the degradation of the fans and connectors. It was necessary to design a new light. The article describes the innovation of the light, where the original Juwel ramp is completely replaced.

Auxiliary outputs and protection against CO2 poisoning
Another thing I finished on the unit is the auxiliary outputs. They serve to control supporting devices. Not only by time but according to the current or power of the light as well. This allows protection of the fish against CO2 when the light stops working.
