Coelux Light, using nanoparticles, possibly the most realistic artificial light created

[Cory]

This is a really amazing light somehow replicating the sun visually!

Hows this thing work? Apparently it uses titanium dioxide nanoparticles to mimick the Releigh light scattering principle.

At the current cost of almost 60,000$ i wont be owning one. However they plan to mass produce them eventually. Make sure to watch the video!

Id love to diy one for a reef lol. What kind of nanoparticles would i need? Im not sure if this belongs here or another forum.

I could imagine a large enough version of this to be in a ceiling right above a reef tank. That would be sweet.

I'm not sure if it would be of any benefit to a reef tank, but if you get one, be sure to let us know how it works out.
