## Power Specifications

<Warning>Please note: specifications are significantly different from the aquaLUX **Nano**.</Warning>

| Property                                        |           |
| ----------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| Voltage                                         | 9V - 60V  |
| Full Brightness Voltage                         | 12V - 60V |
| Nominal Current @ 16V                           | 4.9A      |
| Nominal Current @ 24V                           | 3.1A      |
| Nominal Current @ 60V                           | 1.2A      |
| Max Wattage (Strobe Mode - Full Brightness)     | \<1W      |
