hygger14W Full Spectrum Aquarium Light with Aluminum Alloy Shell Extendable Brackets, White Blue Red LEDs, External Controller, for Freshwater Fish Tank (18-24 inch)

Star ratings explained:BRIGHTNESS FUNCTION - five stars because it is bright! Very bright!TIMER FUNCTION - ZERO STARS Whats to rate???? It's a OFF timer like the Sleep function on your TV in 1972. Not a feature to brag about man, more like pimple your trying to hide. Heres the feature: You can turn it OFF in 3 hours, you can turn it OFF in 6 hours, and wait for it......you can turn it off in yes.....12 friggin hours. NICE. Oh yeah AND you can turn it OFF in NOT NEVER! hours. so.....friggin.....cool...........I Wanna do it again tomorrow, yup, press the stupid button again for 3,6,or 12. not programmable captain.WATER RESISTANCE - ZERO STARS - Its going to be around water, near water or within inches of water right? I dont want water resistance, I want water proof. Its not. I sealed mine up with aquarium silicone around the edges for my case only. I broke the rules. No tank lid and it's extended like a ballerina on a tight rope, because my tank is a too long for the size i got. My junk is hanging by metal wires one inch above certain electrfying death. The longer one is too long and that is just plain ugly. I don't buy ugly on purpose. Aesthetics over safety? in this case yes. My bad.One year of ownership and now I write my review of this light. Why? I thought to myself, this is a good time to write the best review because I have used it, abused it, dropped it on the floor, dropped it in the tank (oops), and it has gone on and off and on and off and on and off over 365 times now!What I liked.• Durabilityo I dropped it on the flooro I dropped it in water while lito It has turned on and off over 365 times already and still works like new• Two sets of bracketso Plastic ones for smaller tankso Metal wire ones for extending it to larger tankso I needed the metal wire ones.~ They are stiff and solid.~ I still used some aquarium silicone to hold the adjustment in place• Brightnesso No scientific way to measure in my house, but to my eyes, they are bright!o I’ve grown plants for 6 months now, no issues, but I inject CO2 and fertilize alsoo The description of brightness in their ad. See below for what I don’t like.What I don’t like• Brightness description on the Amazon pageo Now the description says adjustable brightness and to combine the timer function to simulate day to night. Not what you think. Its an off timer. That’s it. An OFF timer. Nothing more. Not an ON timer. Not programmable. No memory. It won’t turn on in the morning and simulate night to day. You have to do that , just sit there for two hours and press the little button every 20 minutes and just sit there. And wait for 20 minutes. Make it brighter Mr. Sun, go ahead.. NOT. Get the point. Its marketing propaganda. But not a deal breaker. Just buy a programmable dimmer/timer if you want that fancy stuff. I bought one today, review coming soon.• Dimmer/timer.o Again, Its not programmable, so its just an off timer. 3 hours, 6 hours or 12 hours. What if I want 10 hours, if its what I need. It’s useless so I don’t use it. I have a WI fi plug connected to it set to come on at 9 am and turn off at 7PM, 10 hours. That cost me 4 dollars. Well worth it, but that is another review.o No memory recall after power loss and default is WHITE ON 100% | RED/BLUE ON 100%o Due to above wifi plug I use, it loses memory every night because I cut power to it. So the fish are awaken every morning by the GREAT GOD of SUNLIGHT shining through their little a*** at the peak of dawn!!!! This is an economical light, so I didn’t expect it to have a fully programmable EPROM chip installed with full dimmable capabilities at this price point. Not a negative.This product is 100% recommended for a cheap, well built, long lasting, bright LED, slim, sturdy, strong and sleek designed LED lighting fixture for your aquarium, planted or not planted. Buy it if you want all that!Thanks for reading.Ray

Honestly, awesome exactly what I expected. I also ended up going to the local pet store and they had the same light 2x the price same size to 🙂 very happy with it

it is working well on my 55 gallon. the plants are loving the light. i like how it automatically turns on and off so i dont have to think about it. i bought another one in different size for the 29 gal tank

Third time buying, only lasted a 13 months. Not waterproof with air bubbler under it.

This is my second hygger light, the exact same one as my other one…had to get a new one because my dog chewed up the last one’s cord.Perfect for low light plants, my Amazon swords are huge, my jungle Val is spreading quickly, my anubias bateri has been growing faster then I expected it to, and my rotunda has pinkish red ends and is also growing quickly!The only plant that’s doing badly is the moneywort, which is a medium-high light plant. The light is barely just enough to keep it alive…so if you have medium-high light plants I wouldn’t recommend this light.Doesn’t get hot, and is somewhat sturdy.

It works great! I wish it would go back to the last setting it was on or be able to save it instead of defaulting.

A very powerful, sturdy and beautiful light that will make your aquarium pop! It's full LEDS so this will be the last light you ever buy!

Good and quality product! I liked the functionality. I recommend it for purchase!
