hyggerAuto On Off LED Aquarium Light Extendable 12-17 Inches 7 Colors Sunrise Sunset Full Spectrum Light Fixture for Freshwater Planted Tank Build in Timer

This is a good light, but now there is even a better light in the market called the Brite which is bluetooth activated with UV light and easier to customize for your planted aquarium. This light is pretty easy to program, I’m not sure why I see so many reviews complaining that this is a difficult light to program…. Took me like 5 minutes to set up for a Siesta Planted Aquarium for my 29 gallon and 5 gallon planted tank. Plant growth has been crazy with the Siesta Method. Currently I’m using a Siesta Method with this light with the current setting:To set this light for custom mode. You first need to turn off all your other mode first or it is not going to work! Then you simultaneously press the setting and light bulb button at the same time. Remember need to set it to ON then press the setting button again, and you will start with L1 with the flashing number on the right. The number on the right indicates the intensity. Press up and down to control the intensity. Once you are satisfied with the intensity, press the setting button. The left side time flashing is the time your light will be on. The right time flashing is the time your light will be turn off. Press setting to confirm your time and it will switch to L2, repeat your step. Literally L1 - L8 is like a timeslot that you can customize…. How can people not understand that?….L1 - L6 is full spectrum and L7-L8 is night spectrum. Always have 0% on L8 if you dont want algae. If you want algae and have your night mode on the whole night then go ahead.Light 8am - 12pm on. 12 - 4pm off. 4 - 10pm on. This would allow for a 4-4-6 siesta planted aquarium.L1: 8 - 9: 50%L2: 9 - 12: 100%L3: 12-4pm: 0%L4: 4-5pm: 50%L5: 5-9pm: 100%L6: 9pm - 10:30pm: 10%L7: 10:30 - 10:31pm: 0% To turn off the night lightL8: 10:31pm - 7:59am: 0% To turn off for the night and reset back to L1 timeThis siesta light setting is perfect to view your aquarium and let your tank Co2 reset. This also reduce algae. This siesta method also work if you have a Co2 tank, you can also use this setting for your solenoidCo2 7-11am on 3-9:00pm on

I have a pretty wide 55 gallon tropical fish tank and got the light to match that width. After using it for a week I've been really happy with it. I found many other lights that had issues working with timers and dimmers or other issues but this one has a built in timer and dimmer that work well. The only problem I had was that in the default mode the light would come on at full power. But there is a special mode they call DIY that lets you set the time and the brightness for something like 5 different stages. That works perfectly. I set it to 50% during the day because the light is very bright and can put off a lot of heat if you burn it on full. But at 50% it doesn't heat up really at all. I have it dim down to 20% in the evening and then when it hits the off time it turns like a dark blue/violet that then fades out. I think this is probably easier on the fish.Overall, I think if you are looking around for the best light this may be it and it's a pretty good value considering you won't need to buy a timer.

I purchased one light for my 55 gallon planted aquarium and LOVED it! It was so much brighter than the other lights I have tried and has worked really well. I really like that you can set the light intensity schedule and I have used that to create a sunrise effect for the morning while I am waking up. It's been great!I liked this light so much that I bought a second one for my other tank which is a 75 gallon planted aquarium. I used the second one in the same way.About two months later, the second light stopped working properly and I was bummed out. I contacted Amazon and they said they could not replace the light because I has surpassed the "30 day return window".So, I reached out to the manufacturer and sent them a video of how the light was behaving (only some of the LED's were functioning). They responded quickly and are shipping me a replacement light!I love this light, but I was a little bummed that the second one stopped working. However, I was very happy that the manufacturer was willing to help me out and send me a replacement light. Giving this 4 stars because although I did experience issues with one of the lights the manufacturer was very helpful in making it right for me as the customer, even though I purchased through Amazon. I have not had any issues with the first light I bought and I have been very happy with it.

I have two now and I’m probably going to get more for my other tanks as well! I also just bought the clips for them so that’ll be even cooler. I like the timer aspect and the screen. I’ve dropped it in water and still works perfectly. I feel the settings are fairly simple and straight forward. Overall great light lights my tank well and grows my plants too! I can’t wait to get more.

Light is outstanding makes my fluval light look dull and i love the 15 min ramp time when light comes on and off to prevent light shock i have paid double for lights that are not a good trust me buy it you wont be disapointed

Love all the settings and how you can program brightness, Time to turn on and off and even the other fun colors just to give the room a different ambience depending on what I’m doing or if I have guests over. Fish are still the main attraction, but the light helps a ton!
