Review on 🐠 Low Profile Tetra LED Aquarium Hood - Energy Efficient Lighting System for Fish Tanks by Richard Cuneo

I think the name says it all. I bought it in October 2020 for our 10 gallon tanks. My wife and I enjoyed the brightness of the LEDs. However, the design of the system did not convince me. Basically you have a string of small LED bulbs stretched across a wire that needs to be individually attached to the hood. There is no protection of the facility from splashing water - there is no fence. Installing the hood lights is a simple, if sometimes frustrating, process. The hood is quite thin and feels thin; The hole on the back for the filter and heater is small. I actually had to expand it to fit our 10-20 gallon performance filter (the size of tank this cap is designed for). But once that's done, no problem - until the LEDs go out (the reason we bought this cover). Now we ordered the lens hood (we bought two of them) in October, as far as I remember we didn't get it until November when we set it up. They stayed like that for seven months. If we burned them all the time I'd say 'OK' but we rarely turn on the lights as the room our tanks are in is well lit and rarely really needed during the day. So I guess I don't have to say I'm disappointed.
