Review on πŸ’‘ Fluval 24-Inch Marine Lamp with LED Lighting, Energy-Efficient 25-watt by Rachel King

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Bright, smooth, good quality, but died after 2 years.

Good. I don't like that there is no built-in timer. You have to use an external one and obviously you can't program it to switch to blue. It's sleek, beautiful and very light. I have a 49 gallon tank and it might be too light due to algae overgrowth. I reduced the light to 5 hours a day and it's still a big problem. Can't entirely blame the light but damn it. Moreover, he died exactly after 2 years of service. almost a day. Luckily Fluval has a 3 year warranty on it if they replace it, but you must have the original receipt (I had it) and you must pay for the defective unit to be shipped to them. The shipping cost was $15 to replace it. I waited a bit (in the US) but they replied and went through (so far). I accidentally called a Canadian number a couple of times and they hung up, so I sympathize with Canadians trying to get service. They sent me a new one. Upgrade to 4 stars.
