The backlight works great for the aquarium. The

. The backlight turned out to be exactly what I expected. They are great for my snake tank. I recommend them. On the other hand, the packaging is...I'm surprised it didn't break. Huge box in current perfection. Could be better!

Pros
  • backlight is a handy item.
Cons
  • . She's not as good as she promises.

Disappointing - Aquarium Lights

I replaced the bulb and it blew out in less than 24 hours. The first in the package lasted a couple of months, and the second will last at least a year. 2nd in package kept great, burned out in less than 24 hours, very disappointed

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • ---

Unnatural Light - Fish and Aquatic Life

One of the bulbs is flickering and the light is not "Tropical Sunny Daylight" as it blocks and dulls the colors of aquarium plants and fish. Coming back to my longtime PPX lights which worked flawlessly at 16 hours a day for two years and provided the ideal spectrum for the aquarium.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Burned out on arrival. *UPDATED*

I am updating my review by adding and changing the previous one. I have already started the return and wanted to send it back. However, I left them on while I went about my business and flipped them over so they were fully lit and working well. They're not very bright, at least not as bright as LEDs should be, but they work. So I'll leave her for now. If I could give zero stars I would. None of these lamps worked to begin with. They burned out before I installed them. Finding good aquarium…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Periodicity
