Orphek’s Commitment to the Environment:
Loving Nature as we do and being conscious about the environment,
we only develop products with significant positive impact in
everyone’s life. By simply producing an efficient LED lighting solution
Orphek is helping to reduce a great excess carbon dioxide, sulfur
oxide and nuclear waste emissions that are currently being released
into the atmosphere every day, leading to a cleaner world and one
that will last much longer. Our environmentally friendly lighting
solutions produce no radiant heat, and they will not raise the
aquarium temperature more than two degrees Celsius above the
room temperature! Soon you will find out that by using Orphek LED
lighting products, you will achieve more color and growth, with less
cooling and electricity than metal halides or any other traditional form
of lighting.
All that said, help us to protect our Nature by not printing this manual!
We suggest you save it in your computer instead. Trees are as much
important as marine creatures! And they help to balance the
temperature of Mother Earth!

First Observations
1.Only authorized and qualified electrical workers should install,

you still opt to do it yourself: Check basic safety guides for
electrical works before you install any electrical device by

be immediately apparent.
Never look directly into the LEDs. It may cause damage to your
eyes!

If you have any questions, or did not understand any information
of this guide please kindly contact Orphek Customer Assistance

Epilepsy & Photosensitivity
Exposure to lights at certain intensities or to certain visual
patterns can trigger seizures. This condition is known as
photosensitive epilepsy. Many people are unaware that they are
sensitive to flickering lights or to certain kinds of patterns until
they have a seizure. Check with your doctor if you are concerned
about light patterns triggering seizures. Although the exposure to
blue light is very important to human beings, some people might
have sensitive skin or eyes from it. Check with your doctor if you
are concerned about a possible sensitivity.
More Tips for Injury Prevention
1. Test if your electricity is operating correctly in the area installed
and switches it off before installing your Orphek Amazonas 500
Watts LED. 2. Ensure equipment, tools and equipment are in
good operating condition. 3. Never use equipment, tools or
equipments that are in disrepair or not properly maintained. 4.
Ensure electrical components (switches, resistors, capacitors,
inductors, transistors, etc.) are appropriate for the circuit or
apparatus. 5. Never overload circuits. 6. Never leave
unprotected systems unattended. 7. Never place containers of
liquid on electrical systems. 8. Ensure to turn off the power
supply first before disassembling the circuit. 9. Use only tools
and equipment with non-conducting handles when working on
