Adjustable for different aquarium sizes

Let's first take a look at the compatibility of the Eheim variluxLED cover Universal VA 80 / 100 / 120. This not only fits pools with the size 80 x 35 but also 100 x 4ß and 120 x 40 pools. This represents a simple conversion of existing aquariums. The cover is quite easy to assemble, because basically it is only placed on the aquarium. The lines and pipes as well as hoses come into the pool from behind. Openings are already provided in the cover and cover these entries quite well.

 

 

Design of the Eheim variluxLED universal cover

You can't complain about the design either, because Eheim manufactures the cover in white and also in black, so you should be flexible here too. The cover is opened by sliding panes made of aluminum composite panels, which also look very high-quality and also serve their purpose. The design is particularly slim as it is just 8,5 cm high. The cable and hose opening on the back can also be seen.

 

Illumination of the Eheim variluxLED universal cover

Now let's get to the lighting, because this will usually be the reason why you buy this cover in the first place. We do not want to explain the special advantages of LED technology any further here. Above all, the power savings, light yield and the service life must be mentioned positively here. We also recommend ours Guide article on aquarium lighting.

A classic LED light daylight is integrated in the Eheim variluxLED universal cover. This can be moved freely on a rail. This is very well solved, especially for maintenance purposes. The light color is 6500 K and therefore has a color similar to daylight. You also have the option of using a dimmer to simulate sunrise and sunset. However, this is not included in the scope of delivery.

The energy efficiency is also particularly advertised by the manufacturer Eheim. The service life is given as around 35000 hours.

 

 

Air circulation of the Eheim variluxLED universal cover

The air circulation of the lighting should also be mentioned positively. Eheim calls this technology caf, which means constant air flow. This ensures good air circulation and also has the advantage that little condensation occurs.

 

Let's summarize the most important key features again:

 

  • Can be used universally up to a pool length of 120 cm
  • Two colors black and white
  • Noble design
  • good air circulation
  • LED technology with 6500 Kelvin
  • Long life

 

Conclusion, test, customer opinions and price

Finally, we also looked around for opinions and tests. It seems that the Eheim variluxLED universal cover is very well received by buyers. Only a few negative things can be said. If so, one could criticize the possibly high price of around 200 euros depending on the model. Nevertheless, it seems to be a good way to convert your aquarium to LED technology.
