Review on ๐Ÿ  Enhanced MarineLand LED Aquarium Light Hood with Day & Night Lighting by Jenna Hernandez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good coverage, didn't last long

Bought this hood a year ago. I liked the idea because it was LED and had full lighting (the new kitty liked to drink water from the aquarium). The construction looked fine, the lighting was adequate (an aquarium with no plants) and powerful enough for algae to grow in the aquarium (protected from direct sunlight in my house). Used this on a timed splitter so only turned on during the day and not in night mode (there was only one plug for day and night and I won't manually turn them on and off). Unfortunately, the light quickly began to flicker, and even after disconnecting and reconnecting it continued to work, with an added hot electrical smell. Disabled forever. I'm not sure why it failed randomly as there were no acceleration events (spike, fall, etc.) that caused the failure. I'm glad I caught it before the smoldering got worse. So now I'm looking for another hood, won't spend 60 to replace this one, not after a year of service.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • quality
