2012. World’s First Aquarium Sterilizer Developed

In 2012, TWINSTAR developed the world’s first aquarium sterilizer using electrolysis technology. This groundbreaking innovation effectively suppresses algae overgrowth and safely eliminates harmful pathogens in fish tanks—without the use of chemicals. It is now recognized as one of the most advanced sterilization solutions for maintaining a stable and healthy aquarium environment.

2015. World’s First WRGB LED Aquarium Light

In 2015, TWINSTAR launched the first-ever aquarium light featuring WRGB LED technology, quickly replacing traditional T5 fluorescent tubes and white LED lighting.

WRGB technology delivers targeted light energy essential for plant growth and enables vibrant coloration and rapid development of red aquatic plants—something that was difficult to achieve with conventional LEDs. Today, WRGB lighting is one of the most widely adopted technologies in the global aquarium lighting market.

2022. Development of Plant Grow LEDs Optimized for Aquatic Plants

Based on years of research and development, TWINSTAR engineered Plant Grow LEDs specifically optimized for aquatic plant growth.
By providing only the most effective wavelengths for photosynthesis through scientifically refined spectrum design, this next-generation lighting technology supports faster and healthier plant development.

2024. Launch of New Spectrum with 6-Color LED Technology

Ten years after introducing WRGB lighting, TWINSTAR unveiled a new full-spectrum solution composed entirely of six carefully selected color LEDs. This advanced system delivers more precise energy at essential wavelengths for plant growth, resulting in dramatically improved growth rates and color expression.

The exclusive use of color LEDs also enhances spectral clarity and visual aesthetics within the aquarium.

2025. IoT-Based Bluetooth Lighting Control System

In 2025, TWINSTAR introduced a next-generation smart lighting environment with the development of an IoT-based Bluetooth control system.
This innovation enables users to precisely control their lighting setups directly from a smartphone, offering a new level of convenience and customization.

TWINSTAR Design

We believe that lighting is not just a tool to illuminate, but a creative element that completes the harmony between the aquarium and nature, enhancing the sophistication of the surrounding space.

At the heart of TWINSTAR’s design philosophy lies minimalism. We value timeless elegance and an intuitive, user-friendly structure above all else.

From form, texture, and materials to assembly methods and lighting effects, every element is meticulously crafted to ensure depth and a sense of completeness in every product.

This approach not only ensures natural harmony with the aquarium environment but also delivers lasting value to users over time.

Based on this design philosophy, TWINSTAR will continue to develop products that meaningfully enhance the user experience (UX).
