Maxspect MJL 260 Light – Next-Gen Maxspect Aquarium Light for Nano to Mid Reef Tanks
The Maxspect MJL 260 light (Maxspect Jump MJ-L260) is a powerful and compact maxspect aquarium light designed for modern reef keepers. It delivers a coral-friendly full spectrum, high PAR and smooth colour blending in a slim body that looks clean above the tank.
Part of the Jump series, this maxspect jump light is ideal for nano and mid-size reef aquariums. It combines strong output, quiet cooling and app-based control, while still staying energy efficient and budget-friendly.
Models and Series Overview
The MJ-L260 belongs to the Maxspect Jump MJ-L series, which includes:
-
MJ-L260 Blue LED – compact module for tanks around 16″–24″ (40–60 cm)
-
MJ-L290 Blue LED – larger companion model for longer tanks, sharing the same spectrum philosophy with higher power and wider spread
On this product page you are offering the Maxspect Jump MJ-L260 model, a versatile maxspect led aquarium light for nano to mid-size reef tanks needing serious coral colour and growth.
Full Spectrum AB+ Output for Coral Colour and Growth
The MJ-L260 is engineered around a carefully balanced AB+ style spectrum, tuned for SPS, LPS and soft corals. It uses 36 high-quality LED diodes spread across multiple channels:
-
UV (390–400 nm)
-
Violet (410–420 nm)
-
Deep Blue (435–440 nm)
-
Royal Blue (445–455 nm)
-
Sky / Light Blue (465–470 nm)
-
Green (520–525 nm)
-
Warm White (2800–3000 K)
-
Deep Red (660–665 nm)
Because of this mix, the maxspect reef light:
-
Brings out vibrant coral colours
-
Supports strong photosynthesis and polyp extension
-
Gives a natural look to both fish and rockwork
The multi-channel design also offers multilevel spectral modes so you can match different coral needs and viewing preferences.
Power, Coverage and Tank Suitability
Despite its compact size, the maxspect jump mj-l260 offers serious power and coverage:
-
PSU rated power: approx. 66 W
-
Real LED power: approx. 60–63 W
-
Recommended tank length: 16″–24″ / 40–60 cm
-
Best use: nano to mid reef tanks and shallow systems
It provides high PAR in the centre with smooth fall-off, making it perfect as a single maxspect aquarium light over a nano reef, or as part of a multi-light layout over wider tanks.
Smart Wi-Fi App Control with Syna-G Cloud
The MJ-L260 connects to the Syna-G Cloud app for advanced control. Through your phone, you can:
-
Adjust individual colour channels
-
Create sunrise and sunset ramps
-
Use lunar cycle moonlight simulation
-
Run acclimation modes to gently introduce new corals to stronger light
-
Save and share lighting schedules
Because everything is cloud-based, your maxspect jump aquarium light can be monitored and adjusted from almost anywhere with an internet connection.
Smart Cooling and Quiet Operation
The Maxspect MJL 260 light uses a smart cooling system with efficient heatsink design and a quiet fan. This:
-
Keeps LED temperatures in the optimal range
-
Maintains long-term performance
-
Reduces fan noise over your aquarium
As a result, you get a maxspect led aquarium light that runs cool, stable and quiet, even on long photoperiods.
Slim, Modern Design with Flexible Mounting
This maxspect reef light is built to look clean and minimal:
-
Dimensions (without stand): approx. 222 × 176 × 32 mm
-
Module weight: about 871 g
An adjustable tank-mounting stand is included, with glass compatibility typically around 8–20 mm (with pad for thinner glass). You can position the light over the centre of the tank and adjust height and angle easily.
Because the fixture is slim and low profile, it keeps the focus on your reef, not on the hardware.
LED Channel Logic – Balanced Performance at Every Colour
Unlike many lights that lose output when you shift colours, the MJ-L260 is designed to maintain high efficiency across different channel mixes. This means:
-
Strong PAR even when you change colour temperature
-
Less compromise between “pretty” and “powerful” settings
-
Reliable performance for demanding SPS corals
For users wanting a maxspect jump light that can handle both growth and display, this is a big advantage.
Ideal Uses for Maxspect MJL 260 Light
The Maxspect MJ-L260 is perfect if you want:
-
A single maxspect aquarium light over a 16″–24″ reef tank
-
A compact module for SPS-dominant nano reefs
-
A controllable maxspect reef light for mixed reefs and LPS tanks
-
A budget-friendly light with pro-level features like cloud control and full spectrum
You can also combine multiple MJ-L260 units over larger tanks for even spread and flexible layout.
