Aquarium sun for aquarium lights

This light is excellent! The tank we purchased came with an LED strip that plugs into your tank and illuminated the tank enough that we considered sending it back. That was until we turned it on and WOW that's an amazing light. Perfect for 60 gallons and customizable. You can independently control the white and blue light to create "that particular look" in your aquarium, be it bright white or muted to a softer white or even washed out to be flatter, bringing out greenery. and more yellow, and in the evening I adjusted the blue light to create a "sunset" if you like. From your brilliant white you can slowly turn up the blue and lower the white by pressing the buttons and eventually go full blue, but even further out the blue can be very faint, almost like "moonlight". I know most people probably won't go that far for their fish, but there is a choice. It's a great light and full spectrum so I'm curious to see how the plant will react. I've only had it a few days at the time of writing this review, but it's a great light. My only downside is that the lantern is so long that the thin metal rods that slide in and out allowing the light to stand just above the top are flimsy and flexible, and since the lantern is so long it flexes because of that. It's still above the glass and doesn't touch it, but it might be worth considering using a stronger metal housing for the light so it doesn't bend as easily. I would also consider a remote control to remotely control the light. It's not a big deal to go to the tank to adjust the settings, but I think a remote can help make setup easier for users and more functional overall. The rotary controls are only three buttons so you'll have to fiddle with them first to get the hang of it, but I feel like the remote control can really make this light great. Otherwise it's a great light and I'm very happy with it.

Pros
  • Top marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • I have nothing to complain about, everything is fine
