Review on 🐠 Enhance Your Aquarium with Current USA 18"-24" Satellite Plus PRO LED Light by Tiffy Andreani

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent performance, very bright light, easy installation

So far I really like this lamp. It is so subtle that people who have seen it until now cannot understand at first where all the light is coming from. Set up is very easy with a single coded screw cap connector from the controller to the instrument and a simple 12V DC power supply. socket on the wall. The remote buttons are small but easy to find or press even without readers, but the sensor on the controller is nowhere near sensitive enough, especially off-axis, to be used from about 10 feet away. Controller and remote pointed directly at him. It really doesn't matter, as you'll likely only be using the remote for the first day or two to do the initial setup and play around with the admittedly useless dynamic lighting programs. I like the cloud coverage mode, which randomly changes the hue of the projected color as well as the intensity of the white light. In case you didn't understand the description here on the Current website: there are subtle white LEDs and then variable color LEDs. You can control the white intensity as well as the color and intensity of the variables using the four groups of level buttons on the remote control. This means you can project pure white light from white LEDs and/or mixed white light from variable color LEDs. The latter has a somewhat theatrical effect and makes the aquarium look beautiful. I would really like to set the sunset color to match the local reddish sunset since the controller only moves linearly from the daylight color you set. chose your chosen moonlight color. I didn't set up a light meter to test it and perhaps human eyes are less sensitive to changes at high light levels, but it seems to me that about ΒΎ of the change in light intensity occurs at settings of 0-50 and I don't see much change in brightness for steps between 51-100. Example: I can easily tell the difference between 11 and 12, but I don't notice the difference between 82 and 83. Heating: practically non-existent in the device. I had a T5 installation with two pipes above the tank and had to install a chiller to keep the water below 80 at room temperature 76-78. The cooler has never turned on since installing this LED block. You should get this light or something similar just to see how fancy your tank looks under pure blue light.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Some small things
