C10 24/7 LED Aquarium Light for Plants, 18-24 Inches, 15W, Full Spectrum Fish Tank Light with Timer, Brightness Adjustable

I really cannot stress enough how much I love this light. I have the 12-18 on a 10 gal, and it did look a little short to me at first but puts out a ton of light, and I would like my fish to have some shadey corners to get out of the bright light so it's really perfect. The brackets are a little short, it would feel more secure with an extra inch of bracket, but then I dunno if it would fit on a 5.5 gal, which It fits nicely on. I cannot definitively tell if this size is aluminum casing, but the 18-24 in model is. Things I love: -It is very low profile. If you position it right, you can sit/lay on the couch and the light blends into the black rim of the tank and you can't even see it, which makes it look like a beautiful glowing slice of the sea! -Timer and daylight cycle runs itself -Pre-programmed daylight cycle, ready to go out-of-the-box -Slow on/off doesn't scare fish, ramps up/down in 15 min intervals -I can set it on fun colors for gatherings -Very bright -The cord is long -It does not seem to put out much heat, although I do not have mine sitting on a hood. -It is very light-weight, so much so it does not support the cooling fan (tried just to see). **It is the nicest light for personalization. You can personalize your daylight cycle 24hrs, 6am-8am-10am-12pm-2pm-4pm-6pm-8pm-10pm-12am. (From 12am-6am it will remain the same, and you could run moonlight all night but it grows a ton of algea and isnt really good for the tank.) I add in a beautiful sunset effect before bed that REALLY makes my betta look stellar. -VERY afforable option for small tanks Things I don't love: -The plug is bulky, has to go at the end of the power strip -It's not waterproof, although my cat has knocked this is once or twice and I immediately got it out and it was okay. -If the power goes out, it restarts at 6am if in daylight cycle (other stationary modes would be resumed as normal) -Bracket feels a little short (although it does remain stable and does NOT dip in the middle due to the bracket being too short) I have now purchased one of these lights for all 3 of my tanks and I've been extremely happy with them so far. FYI, the same remote works for all 3 lights, you just have to point it at the one you want to control, so you dont have to have multiple remotes sitting around. Might be a mild issue if you have 2 tanks really close together tho, I have not tried yet.

Awesome light for aquarium with different settings which can be controlled by a handy remote.

I can only speak of the short time I’ve used this light but I have been pleasantly surprised at how good it is. I have lights on other tanks but they are very much manually controlled. These however have the ability to use preset or custom routines to turn on, change color and turn off without any need to be done manually once set. So you can set it and forget it. I enjoy watching as the day passes the 24 hr cycle that is preset I haven’t tried to customize it as yet and am impressed at how close it mimics realtime lighting. So as of the light use I have made of it I am very happy with the purchase.

The value for the money is amazing on this light. At this price you expect some plastic junk, nope! Metal, sleek, LEDs are good quality, it’s bright, and very customizable.

Best light ever for my fish tank. I have a 3 gallon tank with a betta. The light doesn't get too hot and the warmth dissipates as the light changes throughout the day. I LOVE the 24/7 mode - it is absolutely perfect. I did raise the light up higher so it wouldn't be so close to the lid of the tank. I used to coffee can lids to set it on. The lid of the tank doesn't get hot at all. I honestly feel like this 24/7 mode light has helped my betta thrive even more. I'm a beginner and the directions were easy to follow.
