Review on Upgraded KZKR 11 to 78 Inch Full Spectrum Aquarium Light - Adjustable Remote Control Fish Tank Lamp for Freshwater and Saltwater Marine - White and Blue Lighting by John Twardowski

Great replacement for an aging fluorescent hood

I recently set up my 29 year old aquarium after a 16 year hiatus. While the old fluorescent tube was technically still working, one of the ballasts had failed and had to be replaced. Instead of trying to keep the old lighting alive, I decided to check out some of the new LED offerings. The pet store had a $300 model that connected to your phone, had a built-in schedule, and could simulate a thunderstorm. I don't need any of this. I needed a simple and affordable LED light that could be installed on my old tank and turned on and off with a switch. That's all. This light met all the requirements and even more. The flashlight fitted my standard 55 gallon fuel tank almost perfectly. The real surprise came when I turned it on. It was breathtaking; the light was sharp, clear, and bright. It overshadowed the old fluorescent lighting. To be honest, I didn't even bother with the blue/night light mode, dismissing it as a novelty. But since I've been using this lamp, I find the blue light pleasant. It's also great for watching nocturnal bottom feeders at work while other fish sleep. It's like getting a bonus light. A toggle switch on the cable allows easy switching between blue and white modes. So if you're looking for an inexpensive replacement aquarium light that doesn't have a lot of unnecessary frills, then I don't think you can go wrong with this one. highlighted.
