Benefits

This light delivers strong, even illumination that reaches the substrate thanks to a combination of 5050 and SMD2835 LEDs, offering a measured lumen output of 3332 lm and a colour rendering index of around 85% according to the manufacturer. The aluminium housing helps dissipate heat and the lamp beads are described as waterproof, which reduces worry about splashes. The kit's mix of white, red, green, blue and RGB diodes makes plant and fish colours appear natural under the beam.

How to use it

Setup is straightforward, clip the bracket to the tank rim and position the fixture so the beam covers the planted area. Use the controller to pick one of six daytime timers or night timers, select one of ten preset colours or create your own mix in DIY mode. There are ten brightness levels to tune intensity from 10% to 100%. It’s a good fit if you want a flexible programmable light that balances plant needs with a gentle day to night cycle. Do bear in mind that full planted-tank results also depend on substrate, fertilisation and CO2 management.
