Review on 🐠 Finnex Planted+ 24/7 LED KLC Aquarium LED Light: Full Spectrum, Automated Fish Tank Light | 24-Inch by Roberto Manzer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great light v2.0

Finnex listened to their customers. The newer version 2.0 fixes everything that was wrong in the first version. The LED is waterproof, the power supply is made of a better material and the light is now fully CC like the CC model. The only difference is that the wavelength of red light is not 660 nm. If you make a 24/7 adjustment, each increase and decrease changes by 10% according to the manual. Sometimes that's not enough. Because early in the morning or late in the evening, you can only adjust the brightness of white light to 2-3% because 10% is too bright. I've found that holding down the button lets you reduce the brightness to less than 10%, but you have to release it quickly before it hits zero. It took several attempts. I hope in the future they develop a bluetooth remote control/app similar to Fluval 3.0 so you can adjust the lighting settings to within 1% if you want. I have both lights and love the Fluval app for adjusting the settings, but Finnex has a lot more settings and times to tweak. I also like the Finnex legs better, they elevate the light above the tank and allow you to light more of the tank! I bought the 48" version and it has over 2 20g tanks sitting next to each other. I use user mode 24/7 and love it. I also think it's good that you can switch it off completely at night and only have a blue light. (Moonlight) whenever you want.

Pros
  • Four customizable color channels, dimming, weather modes
Cons
  • Expensive
