Review on Optibright Plus LED Lighting System by Aqueon - 30 to 36 Inches by Jason Williamson

Yes, it's probably the most expensive compared to others, but worth it for the price. Plus -1 point. 1/3 size (very thin) of other generic brands with the same number of LEDs. Yes, ordered 3 from Revain to compare.2. The LEDs are bright but not super bright, which prevents algae growth. If you need to grow corals, look elsewhere.3. The timer is not needed. You can control white, blue and RGB independently and set it on the built-in timer with the remote control.4. The remote is amazing, durable and doesn't feel cheap like the others. And a remote control (no line of sight required). I had an issue with other lights where the TV's IR remote would do random things with those lights. You can set the start and stop time directly from the remote control.5. Auto hide within 30 minutes when the timer ends (evening) and auto hide within 30 minutes when the timer starts (morning). Not necessarily, but I'll take it.6. Fits perfectly to the sides and flush with the wider LED angle glass cover. Others stand a little higher from the lid and shine a bright light into the eyes between the lamp and the aquarium lid. My only wish is that they make it reasonably waterproof (not fully waterproof) since there is always some water in the aquarium. tank area. I hope it lasts for the price but Aqueon has not yet let me down with all of their quality products.
