Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes the Chihiros A II Max Series different from the standard A II Series?
The A II Max Series features a significantly wider 4.92-inch unibody frame housing higher-luminance white LEDs. This delivers higher raw lumen output and wider front-to-back coverage, making it better suited for deeper or wider planted tanks requiring intense PAR penetration.
2. How do I control the brightness and timing on the Chihiros A II Max?
The light features built-in Bluetooth connectivity that pairs wirelessly with the My Chihiros App on iOS and Android devices. Inside the app, you can adjust intensity levels, program daily photoperiod timers, and schedule smooth sunrise and sunset ramping curves.
3. Can I hang the Chihiros A II Max light overhead instead of using the legs?
Yes! The fixture supports modular mounting options. You can swap out the default sliding metal legs for Chihiros A II Max Acrylic Legs or suspend the fixture overhead using the Chihiros A II Max Series Hanging Kit.
