Indoor aquariums are full of colorful corals, fish, and water plants living in an ecosystem similar to nature. Direct sunlight is typically avoided in these spaces in order to limit the reproduction of algae. This is necessary to keep water from becoming turbid and harming the ecological balance of the aquarium system. As a result, lighting solutions play an important role in maintaining growth without disturbing the ecological cycle.
The daytime Pendix is a matrix LED module with 9 different color temperatures and features a customized spectral lighting design that closely matches the spectrum of natural sunlight enabled by SunLike Series LEDs. Different light colors such as white, blue, and red can be combined in the module to provide the optimal lighting solution for both saltwater aquariums and freshwater aquariums.
Sunlight has always played an important role with plant growth in nature. SunLike Series natural spectrum LEDs are similar to sunlight which radiate a uniform amount of energy at all wavelengths, including infrared and ultraviolet as the optimal light source for plant growth. The technology lowers the light peaks of red, green and blue to be more similar to sunlight’s spectral curve in order to provide a better growth formula than what is common in conventional LEDs. This results in a more natural and healthy environment for fish, plants, and corals while further decreasing algae growth on glass.
Light sources with SunLike Series LEDs more accurately show the color of objects as they would appear in natural sunlight. Optimized to natural light spectra and color rendering of CRI-97 (close to CRI-100 of sunlight), and higher than the CRI-80 of conventional LEDs, SunLike Series LEDs deliver more significant benefits in vivid color, contrast detail, and quality of light consistency. These qualities can be vital to aquariums, enabling the owners to more accurately observe and attend to the overall growth and health status of fish.
“We are pleased to expand this aquarium LED lighting portfolio. Our SunLike Series natural spectrum LEDs as healthy light sources will offer the considerable benefits for better growth of fishes and plants in aquarium, compared to conventional LEDs,” said Carlo Romiti, Europe sales Vice President of Seoul Semiconductor. “Seoul Semiconductor will continue to support the needs of customers with a range of innovative LED lighting solutions.”
Seoul Semiconductor developed SunLike Series natural spectrum LEDs in collaboration with Toshiba Materials’ TRI-R spectrum technology in 2017 as the first LED light source to closely match the spectrum of natural sunlight.

Orca Security Report: 99.9% of Fixable AI Vulnerabilities Remain Unpatched as AI Moves Into Production9.7.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Orca Security, a leader in cloud and AI security, today released its 2026 State of AI Security Report, offering a first-hand view into how AI is being deployed across more than 1,200 production cloud environments. The findings show AI is no longer limited to isolated pilots or developer experiments. Organizations are embedding AI into production applications, cloud services, and autonomous workflows faster than security programs can adapt. More than half (56%) of organizations have already deployed AI agents into production, while 51% use AI to build custom applications. At the same time, Orca found that 81% of organizations run vulnerable AI packages, and 99.9% of fixable AI vulnerabilities remain unpatched, highlighting how quickly AI has become operational infrastructure without corresponding security maturity. The report also reveals that AI environments are rapidly becoming more interconnected and business critical. Among organizations adopting AI, 64% now run vector databases, 55
Echodyne Opens New Manufacturing Facility to Meet Surging Global Demand for Advanced MESA® Radar9.7.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
As governments around the world accelerate investment in counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS) and short-range air defense, Echodyne today announced the opening of a new advanced radar manufacturing facility in Washington State, significantly expanding its manufacturing capacity to meet rapidly growing demand from U.S. and allied customers. With millions of drones manufactured and used by both sides in the Russian War in Ukraine, the need for enhanced safety for defense, national security, and critical infrastructure assets grows with every successful strike and interception. The low cost and high utility of drones dramatically alters the need for safety and security sensors. And as the low altitude economy takes off, hundreds of thousands of drones will perform a range of life-saving and commercial missions, requiring a sensor infrastructure to monitor airspace activity. The new 86,350-square-foot facility is a major step in readying supply for multiple, large, global markets. The
