The Chihiros B Series (Non-Bluetooth Edition) is a budget-friendly, low-profile linear LED system engineered for low-to-medium energy freshwater planted tanks. Designed as an accessible upgrade from basic white-only entry-level LEDs, the B Series integrates a blend of specialized high-efficiency white LEDs along the outer grid with a concentrated row of 3-in-1 RGB (Red, Green, Blue) diodes down the center channel. This layout achieves a balanced full-spectrum output (ranging between 8,000K and 9,800K depending on size) that effectively drives photosynthesis in hardy aquatic plants while significantly brightening fish and shrimp pigmentation.
The Non-Bluetooth Edition functions out of the box as a fixed, single-channel "plug-and-play" lighting setup. It does not contain an internal Bluetooth chip or native smart control features. When plugged directly into a wall outlet, the fixture operates at a locked 100% maximum power intensity. To add custom dimming, sunrise/sunset ramping, or automated 24-hour cycles, you must patch a standalone hardware accessory—such as the Chihiros Manual Dimmer or the Chihiros Commander 1 Bluetooth Controller—directly inline between the light housing and the power brick.
The physical chassis is remarkably compact, measuring exactly 56mm wide and 12mm thick. It is constructed from a structured aluminum alloy shell with built-in cooling fins that provide silent passive heat dissipation. The light is rated at IP43 water resistance, meaning it is designed specifically for open-top rimless glass layouts and should never be trapped inside high-humidity closed aquarium canopies.

Core Hardware & Operational Features
-
Fixed Blended Spectrum: The color temperature and spectral outputs are hardwired into a single unified circuit channel. While an optional external controller can adjust the overall brightness from 1% to 100%, the individual red, green, and blue spectral channels cannot be separated or adjusted independently.
-
Extendable Metal Support Rods: Shipped with adjustable stainless steel mounting legs that slide horizontally out of the main aluminum core tracks. This extendable rod design allows each light size to stretch up to an extra 20cm total to securely span non-standard or intermediate aquarium lengths.
-
Reversible Height Orientation: The mounting brackets feature an asymmetric, reversible geometry. By flipping the wire legs upside down before sliding them into the chassis, you can choose to mount the fixture closer to the water level for tight light concentration, or elevate it higher to get a wider beam spread.
-
What's Packaged in the Box: Each standalone non-Bluetooth factory package contains 1x B Series aluminum LED strip light fixture, 2x adjustable stainless steel sliding rim-mounting brackets, and 1x 24V DC universal multi-voltage external power adapter brick with a regional wall plug.
