So I started looking for the best lights for the money. I found several reviews on YouTube and other sources about these Hygger 978 24/7 lights. Compared to the high-end lights, these seemed too good to be true, but I decided to give them a try, and I ordered 4 sets of the 36-42" lights for our big tank. (The first number is the length of the light itself, and the 2nd number is how far the stands will extend out to fit your tank) They seem well-built, and although the directions are a little different, they were not difficult to program. There are manual settings that allow you to set specific time periods for the lights to be on, and in whatever color you prefer, and they allow you to adjust the brightness settings as well, but I wanted to try the 24/7 program. That program is pre-set, with the lights coming on at 6:30 AM in a dim, all-orange tint, to simulate sunrise. That gradually brightens up and turns whiter as the day goes on until the tank is fully lit with bright, daylight lighting. In the evening, the lights start dimming and turning bluer in color to simulate sunset, and eventually, an all-blue moonlight. Then the lights go off at 10:30 pm. We've only had the lights for a few days now, but so far we are loving them! The tank has not looked this good in a LONG time. The lights are really bringing out the colors in our fish, and they seem to enjoy the light schedule as well, with some of them becoming much more visible throughout the day than they were with our old lights. So far, the lights have been flawless, but at their very affordable price point, even if they don't last more than a year, I would definitely buy them again as needed. I honestly do not think anyone could go wrong buying these lights for their tank(s). Are their colors as accurate as the $2700 high-end lights I looked at? Probably not, but honestly, unless you had them both set up on tanks, side by side, I doubt that you would really notice! I've been running aquariums continually for over 45 years, and I think these lights just might be the biggest bargain I've ever found! (If this new purchase opinion changes, I'll update this review as needed.) Review: Great light, 24h cycle is awesome! - **Update 3: Putting this at the top - I'm at a little over 2 years with my 3 lights and they are all going strong. I love them, my plants grow great, and all my aquariums are doing great. These will be my go-to lights for any future builds.** I'm just getting my setup together, but I've been playing with this light for the last 2 days. I'll update this review with any issues once I get my tank setup and planted. The good: -Bright full spectrum light -Super slim -Lightweight -Stays VERY cool to the touch -24h mode is great, and unlike what I've read about the timer on some other Hygger products it does turn fully off. (I haven't tried the 6/10/12 hour timers yet as I don't plan on using them) The bad: -Directions are pretty confusing, especially when it comes to how the 24hr timers work -I don't love the slide-out legs for mounting, but they do the job -RGB Modes are neat, but probably useless to most -No memory if power is lost On the 24h mode. You can kind of see how it works in the video for the product, but here are some details/info. -The daylight cycle takes approximately 16.5 hours from start to finish. -Day light starts at a dim orange and slowly works up to full bright for the late morning through afternoonish, then starts winding down. -The last ~30mins are blue only LEDs that slowly fade out to off. The 24h button is probably the most confusing part of the directions. It has 8:00 / 10:00 / 12:00 / 15:00 / 18:00 / 22:00 settings. This is for setting where in the light cycle the current time of day is. As an example if I power up the light and want to start the 24h cycle, and its 10:00am I set it to the 10:00 button. If it was 3:00pm I would set it to 15:00, etc. Now the cycle will start at 6am and end at 22:30 (10:30pm). There is a little time math involved if you want to set a different start time, say 7:00 am instead of 6:00am. But this time schedule is perfect for my use. Overall I am very excited to get my setup complete and see how it looks with this light. **UPDATE** This light continues to be awesome! I've had it running for about 3 weeks and my plants are taking off! The "sunrise" is beautiful as well. My one and only complaint so far is that the plastic that covers the LEDs isn't secured in any way and will rattle occasionally from my wavemakers/filter. Should be an easy fix tho. **UPDATE 2** I'm rapidly approaching a year with this light and now have 3 sizes running on 3 different tanks. (10g, 29g tall, 40g breeder) All are working great still. The total light time is a little high (16.5 hours) but none of my tanks are out of control with algea growth. All of my plants are doing great! I'm planning a couple more aquariums this winter and will definitely buy this light for them. ## Features - [Premium 5050 & RGB LED Bulbs] hygger 978 Aquarium led Light features a super-bright 6500K white LEDs paired with the full-spectrum RGB LEDs to emit bright light to bring out the colors of your fish and plant.

A good option for led lights that are too bright and can't be adjusted is to use window tint. Believe me it works and is easy to do. **Q: when using the 24/7 mode at a certain time, will the light be left flashing or must it be pressed again to turn off?** A: The 24/7 mode is "Set once and never touch anything again", it will turn itself on at the same set time every day, do its ramp up then down cycle, turn itself off completely, Light will not flash, you need not press anything again. Then next day it repeats itself exactly. I set my 24/7 mode 3 months ago, and I have not touch it again. **Q: What is the kit for the hanging mount shown in the 7th photo? I'd really like to mount mine that way!** A: Is easy to make your own mounting parts just need plexiglass and glue. **Q: Have a 35 gal hex tank. 24 inch deep. 18 inch across. Would the 18 to 24 inch give enough light for bottom plants to grow?** A: I’m not certain. It depends on how deep the tank is and what light requirements (i.e. low light, moderate light, etc.)…. I used two lamps but got algae problems. One light is ok but only for plants with low light requirements and some moderate light requirements….. my tank is 19 inches tall. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You can't go wrong with these lights at their price! *by L***1 on October 23, 2025* Our 450-gallon African Cichlid tank desperately needed some new lighting, but after researching the high-end lights on the market, their price points were just plain ridiculous!!!

I'm impressed with the output and love the 24 hour light mode that simulates a day/night cycle automatically. Hygger products are excellent and well made. Works very well for my aquarium plants, which was my main concern. ## Frequently Bought Together - hygger Advanced LED Aquarium Light with Timer, 24/7 Lighting Cycle & DIY Mode, Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light for 24-30 in Freshwater Planted Tank - H2Pro 24" Glass Canopy for 15/20/ 55-Gallon Aqueon All Glass Marineland Perfecto Aquarium Fish Tank (23.07 x 11.69 x 0.16in) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/283416019-hygger-advanced-led-aquarium-light-with-timer-24-7-lighting](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/283416019-hygger-advanced-led-aquarium-light-with-timer-24-7-lighting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-23*
