This is the 2nd one of these I have purchased for a second aquarium. That alone should tell you that there is no disappointment in these aquarium lights. They are great quality, and the only ones I will buy. They are sturdy, do not flex, and overall great light quality with all the spectrum for growing aquarium plants. It doesn't really produce heat, and is just an all around great workhorse aquarium light with great aesthetics.

The light is great! If I changed one thing about it, I would make the sunset just as beautiful as the sunrise.

24 hour mode is awesome. Been using this for a year now and it still works flawlessly.

Beautiful light allows me to see my hermit crabs in a natural setting. This light is sturdy and is easy to mount on the tank. The timer function was surprisingly configurable and might have been very complicated if it weren't for the 24h mode button. This convenient button sets up the light with a preset 4 stage (dawn, daylight, dusk, nighttime) light timer with an extended daylight time. I deducted one star for the difficult-to-understand manual. But if you choose the 24h mode as I did, the only truck is the one-time setting of the timer to the current time setting; one of 08:00, 10:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, or 22:00.

Se siente una mejoria en la calidad de la iluminación a comparación de otras lamparas

Es una lámpara muy buena pero le faltan opciones de programación. La opción 24/7 es muy buena, muy interesante, pero demasiado larga para las necesidades de las plantas de mi pecera. Quizá si tuviera opciones preprogramadas de menos horas y/o de menor luminosidad estaría excelente.Las opciones de 6, 10 y 12 horas también siento que están desfasadas, porque 6 horas es relativamente corto, 8 horas no tiene y 10 horas ya es largo y 12 ni se diga. y es que se pasa de la etapa de encendido a la máxima seleccionada en solo 15 minutos, y lo mismo para la etapa de apagado. Quizá debería tener opciones de alargar la fase de encendido y apagado a algo más personalizado.Creo que la lámpara es muy buena en calidad de acabados y calidad de luz, pero no me sirvió y prefiero seguir usando mis lámparas anteriores (con las que intercalo el tipo y cantidad de luz) que utilizo manualmente.En un intento por mejorar la calidad de luz de mis plantas casi las acabo matando, ya que nunca pude encontrar la cantidad de luz necesaria para su buen aprovechamiento. Como dije, ya mis plantas se están recuperando después de un mes tortuoso para ellas.________Edito la reseña únicamente para actualizar un detalle que desconocía de la lámpara, que se puede encender automáticamente por medio de un temporizador. De esa forma sí me sirve. Lo desconocía pero casualmente noté que si se enciende sin seleccionar ningún programa y se corta la electricidad la lámpara se enciende con normalidad. Así si me sirve. No como quisiera pero funciona bien.

lampara sin fallas . calidad y precio es una buena recomendación para acuarios .

No enciende el producto, no sirve, los leds no prenden

I've just finished setting up my first planted aquarium (10 gallon). I had been searching for a good light source and new I wanted one that had a timer so I didn't have to remember to turn on and shut off everyday. All the YouTube videos and online recommendations veered toward the Finnex Stingray or lights of equivalent price points. Being my first aquarium, I didn't want to get carried away and overspend on every last detail. I decided to roll the dice on this light knowing I could always return it, and I am very glad I did.Physically speaking, the light itself has a very low profile and sits roughly 1" above the rim of the tank (maybe less). It gives off very little heat, and the sliding brackets adjust to the tank smoothly and sits securely. The quality and build are very good, and, to be sure of the reliability, I ran this light at full intensity for a week, 24 hours a day, then another full week on the 24/7 timer without any issues.The light itself at maximum intensity is BRIGHT. The basic features include full spectrum light (with options to change the lighting to a single spectrum/color if so desired), timer features (including a 24/7 setting), and ability to adjust the intensity of the light, if so desired.The spectrum and intensity options are pretty straightforward; you can adjust these to your liking, however I feel it is the timers that require a little more detailed explanation. You have three chief options, simple on/off, 24/7, and personalized custom:The 24/7 feature basically sets the light loose to do its thing automatically. I don't recall the exact times, but roughly around 6-7AM, the light will turn on with a gentle intensity in the orange light spectrum to simulate dawn, then work its way through the day to full spectrum, then culminate in a blue/indigo spectrum in the evening around 8-9PM, until it shuts off for the night around 10-11PM. The one and only CON that I have is the intensity of light CANNOT be adjusted in this setting. When it reaches full daytime, the full spectrum is BRIGHT. If you have low-light plants, it may be too much.The personalized custom timer allows for 3 durations of light, 6H, 10H, and 12H. The plus side to these timers is that it DOES allow for adjustment for light intensity. The drawback is you lose the beauty of the changing light spectrums as this mode only goes between off a gentle ramp up to full spectrum and vice versa. It's kind of a bummer, but not a deal-breaker for me.Setting up the timers is a mild annoyance as the controls work by way of counting your button presses to select the options. For example, to cycle through the various light intensities, color spectrums, or time settings, you have to repeatedly press the buttons to cycle through everything. Not a big deal since you realistically only have to do it once to set up the timers.For those interested, I am currently growing Bacopa Caroliniana, Apongeton Ulvaceus, Amazon Sword, Windelov Java Fern, Cryptocoryn Lutea, Cryptocoryn Wendtii Green, Java Moss, and Susswassertang in this tank and everything is growing very well with this light.All in all, a great little light for those not wanting to pay 2-2.5x the price for a similar "big name" light source.
