hygger Aquarium Lighting Cycle 24/7 Aquarium Light with Timer, 26 W Full Spectrum Aquarium LED Lighting Lamp with Extendable Mount, 7 Colours, Sunrise-Daylight-Moonlight

Still early days of owning but it is working how my wife wanted it to and the fish seem to prefer it with the dawn and dusk setting and the plants look like the brighter light is making them head for it.

Bought this for my 3ft goldfish tank, and noticed leaving the lights at 100% intensity was waaay too bright. I reduced them to 50% level, for 10hrs a day, but still got algae growing on the sides and bottom of the tank in only a couple weeks.Have now reduced to 25% intensity and hoping this will fix the algae issue. Another thing is that the timer can only be set for 6hrs, 10 hrs or 12 hrs…these times are really not ideal..an 8hr setting on the timer would be perfect, as 6hrs is too little for most plant life but 10ths or 12 is way too much light ( and hence the algae problem I described). In nature, plants do not get 12hrs daylight in any case, so why they even programmed this on the timer is beyond me. Would give it 5 stars otherwise.

Aquarium Light Review After being away from the aquarium hobby for 25 years, I’ve been surprised by just how much things have changed. Gone are the days of bulky aquarium hoods with fluorescent tubes. Today’s lighting options are much more streamlined, and this light is a great example of how far aquarium equipment has come. I’m getting back into the hobby with four 33-gallon long tanks, each measuring 48" x 12" x 13". Because of the length of these tanks, I ordered the 48–54 inch version of this light. My first impression was very positive. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality and especially by how incredibly low-profile the fixture is. It doesn’t have the bulky appearance of older aquarium lighting, and once it’s mounted on the tank, it has a very clean and unobtrusive look. The fixture also feels solid and well made, rather than lightweight or flimsy. Another thing I really like is the way the light is directed. It shines straight down into the aquarium rather than throwing a lot of light outward, which helps put the available light where it’s actually needed. For my 33-gallon long tank, it appears to provide plenty of brightness and gives the aquarium a nice, evenly illuminated appearance. The controller is also fairly straightforward and doesn’t seem unnecessarily complicated. One feature I particularly like is that when the light is powered on, it gradually ramps up instead of coming on at full brightness immediately. This creates a sunrise-like effect, which is a nice feature and should make for a more natural-looking transition for the fish. I’ll probably end up plugging the light into a smart outlet and using an app on my phone to control the lighting schedule. That will allow me to automate the on/off times without having to manually operate the light every day. Obviously, I’ve only had the light for a short time, so I can’t comment yet on its long-term durability or how well it will hold up after months or years of use. However, based on the initial fit, finish, construction, brightness, and low-profile design, I’m impressed with it so far. For the price, this appears to be a very good value. If you’re looking for a simple, low-profile light for a longer aquarium and don’t need an overly complicated lighting system, this one is definitely worth considering. So far, I’m very pleased with my purchase and will be interested to see how it performs over the long term.

So far this is an amazing light. The price was great. The amount of settings are incredible for such a simple design. I absolutely love the look of it!! This light is very slim and is almost impossible to see if I am sitting on the couch or from across the room. It would also look amazing on theme tanks and that type of décor where there are no plants, but has colorful décor items. (great nightlight for kids room?...lol). The Full Spectrum is the perfect amount of light for my 26" tall tank. I am not sure if plants that require supper bright lights will like it but IMO the med light plants should do great. (I had 2 - 18,000k t5s on my tank prior and it was way to bright). It only took 30 minutes and My German Blue Rams have already come out of hiding. The instructions were simple...unless you are me...lol. I kept thinking that the 8:00,10:00,12:00,15:00,18:00,22:00 was the hours that you can set it for a timer.... it is not...lol. It is the 6 timer points that you can set the local time at. So if you want the light on at 6am then you must set it at one of these timer points. If you want it on at 5 then set it at 7,9,11,2,5,9 instead or if you want it to come on at 7am then at 9,11,1,4,7,11. Anyways you get the point. As soon as you set the time for your local time, then the 24/7 gradient light should be set to come on at 6am. (I will have to get back to you on if it is and what it is like.) To my knowledge from what I understand of all my research on this light, The 24/7 schedule should go like this.... from 6am to 8am it is a gradient orange sunrise until its brightest point. from 8am to 6pm it is day time with a gradient white until it is at its brightest then slowly starts to go down... (I am assuming with blue mixed in as it starts to change) from 6pm to 10:30pm it is moonlight and should go from a brighter to darker blue. I will update this as soon as I get a feel for this light. I will let you know if the light actually does as advertised. So far it looks very promising. (UPDATE) When set perfectly on time my light did not shut off completely until around 10:50pm (not 10:30pm as the booklet states), but it did start on time at 6:00am. I love that this light comes on slowly and that it brightens to full spectrum during the day and then starts to dim in the evening. This light dims very slowly and comes on very slowly, It should NOT startle your fish. "My GBR are out a lot more now". If I had to change anything it would be that it was to have a battery backup so if the power flickers off at night and then comes back on that your settings would be saved and the cycle from 6am on until completely off at 10:50pm seems too long "for our household". The 12hr timer is too short. I believe that if they were to change the 6-10-12hr to include an 8 & 14 hour that it truly would be completely perfect for everyone. My prior lights were way to bright and I think that is why my water wisteria plants were not doing to well (even with flourish excel and flourish iron). I will give another update later on about how my plants are doing.

Envoi non conforme produit retourné. Sur Amazon je choisis une rampe pour aquarium de 120 Cm. Je reçois une boîte Amazon correspondant à la taille du produit, mais à l'intérieur il y avait une rampe de 60 cm donc inutilisable pour moi. Je ne sais pas d'où vient l'erreur Hygger ou Amazon . Mais je ne recommanderais pas dans cette marque.
