Great light for the price!

I purchased the 48 inch version of this lantern and received it yesterday. I haven't had this flashlight for a very long time but thought I'd share my first impressions. Stay tuned for long term updates. Good 1. Reliable build quality - metal body with plastic lens and mounts. 2. Very Low Profile - This light is so thin it almost disappears on top of your tank. a work that reproduces all the colors of my fish. I have African cichlids and they look a lot more colorful under this light than under

Pros
  • Tricolor mix for resident advertising and display
Cons
  • Crumpled

Perfect fit for my aquarium

I have been looking for light sources for planted aquariums for a long time and this one has turned out to be perfect for my needs. I have a 36" mount on a 22 gallon rimless Aquamaxx in the photos (from Marinedepot.com). I'm aiming for a low-tech, low-light tank (no CO2 injection). Pros: - Ideal for aquariums less than 20 inches high, it achieves around 30 PAR at 24 inches deep in the water (in low light). My aquarium is just under 12 inches, so I'm probably getting around 40 PAR (medium low…

Pros
  • True RED LED light source with high color rendering index 660nm
Cons
  • Negative result available

Excellent light with some minor (mostly preferred) flaws

This light is ideal for low to medium light plants. It makes my plants look amazing in photos, but with fish it depends on where they are in the tank. I think this world is best for a rimless aquarium with no aquarium lid. Maybe even screwed into the hood. Unfortunately I keep roosters and that is not an option as they can and will pop out. My issues with this: With a glass dome, the hinge/rod in the center blocks the light. I need to move it either forward (light stays in front) or backward…

Couldn't be happier!

Excellent choice and delivery on time! Marineland Double Bright LED as part of the package. This light alone was not enough as the 36" length casts too much shadow left both sides of the 48" tank. So I decided to add a 48" Stingray to add some light to my tank. I have the Stingray on the front of my tank and the Marineland on the back. Now the aquarium is much brighter and the Colors of the fish are really vivid. Only downside is the Marinelank still leaves a slight shadow in both back corners…

Pros
  • Pencil Thin 20" Multicolor LED Light
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Excellent quality lighting

This Finnex LED light was a fantastic addition to my 55 gallon fresh water tank. It was packaged well and has been working flawlessly for a few weeks. I recently switched from an aquarium with closed fluorescent hoods and hanging filter to glass lids and LED lighting. Of course I made some important updates. Pros: Super easy to set up, super easy to use, and super bright (compared to every other light I've used). If you are looking for something for plants, there are better options, try the…

OK, but not perfect.

The light output is really good, with a nice tone that looks very natural. It appears to be fairly neutral with no preference for any particular colour. The mount itself is small and thin, making it invisible on your tank. Sounds like I love it, so why only four stars instead of five? First a hardwired transformer. My guess is that Finnex have great confidence in the quality of the transformer they use as it is not just a plug in item. Most other lights have a cylinder connection, which makes…

Pros
  • Included components: LED bulb, legs
Cons
  • Neutral
