Aquarium Plant Light, 24/7 Programmable, Power-Off Memory, 7-Row LED 18-24in SEAOURA Full Spectrum Fish Tank Lights, 8 Colors, 20 Brightness Dimmable, Day & Night Cycle, Adjustable Bracket

I have this light on a 40g Marineland breeder tank that has a 36”x18” footprint. This pic was taken with the light set at 10% brightness on full spectrum. Without a doubt, if you want to grow plants this is an absolute powerhouse. My Cichlid breeder tank has fake plants in it as the cichlids will eat live plants and in a 40g they serve to break up sight lines and reduce aggression. This tank was set up 2 weeks ago and is cycling with 1 fish in there. Programming takes some time but once you figure it out the light is awesome on its 24/7 setting that starts with a yellow sunrise migrating to full day sunshine to a yellow sunset to blue moonlight to off. All fully programmable for color, time and brightness. Well worth the extra $. If you want to grow live plants I can’t even imagine how well they would do under a light that can deliver so much power if you turn it up. I have to keep it lower with fake plants to avoid an algae bloom. With a tank packed full of live plants you’ll grow a jungle in no time.

UPDATE #2 I upgraded my original review from 2-5 stars The customer service has been excellent from this seller. After I got my massive algae outbreak under control(see below) I purchased the upgraded version of this light which now has the ability to change brightness and color in 24/7 mode. The only way to tell if you receive the upgraded version ( because the old and new are currently mixed together at the warehouse) is to look at page 10 of the manual. If the top line on the page says time, color, brightness, you received the newer version. There is a battery backup in the control that saves current settings in case of a power outage which is a great feature. There are helpful programming videos explaining how to set up the controls, so it's not as complicated as it initially seemed. I am currently running 2 different sizes of this light on 2 separate tanks and have been very pleased with the newer version. My plants are doing great and there's no algae outbreak in sight. I will buy more in the future. ORIGINAL REVIEW. The controls are quite complicated to program on this very bright light. The biggest problem that I have experienced is that there is no way to dim the light intensity level when on 24/7 mode, which resulted in a MASSIVE hair algae outbreak that covered all of my plants, glass and rocks in a surprisingly short period of time. I have pulled out an entire tank full of live plants 3 times and dipped them in diluted peroxide followed by dosing of liquid carbon to try to keep them from dying due to algae suffocation. I have also removed all of the hardscape and scrubbed it down to remove the blanket of algae covering it as well. I have been doing 50% water changes every 3 days for the past 4 weeks because the algae returns so rapidly. I have even done total blackouts which helped, but once I turned the light back on for 2 hours per day, for the plants survival, poof! the algae returned with a vengeance. I have become a slave to my aquarium, spending many hours per week battling this scourge. It will be a miracle if my plants survive, because they are all currently melting. Once this algae sets in it seems to be very difficult to overcome. I finally resorted to replacing this high intensity light with the old kit light that came with my aquarium and so far the algae has not returned. UPDATE #1: Customer service reached out to me several hours after posting this review and offered me an upgraded replacement that allows brightness adjustment in 24/7 mode or a refund. Customer service has been excellent. I am willing to try the upgraded light, since I was happy with the quality. Regarding the difficult programming of the light schedule, customer service sent me more detailed directions and is also willing to help program specific times if needed. This company has been very willing to stand behind their product, which I really appreciate. I will be happy to try the upgraded version.

It took a while to choose a replacement light for my fish tank. I needed something 24" wide to fit in my old fluorescent housing and this worked perfectly. The LED light quality looks good to me. I do not another one to compare it to so all I can say is that it is an good upgrade to my fluorescent light. I wanted a programmable one because I did not know what light level I would like. This was a good economical choice for me. I am still trying to figure out the programming. So far I have it turning on and off by itself. Brightness and color can be adjusted. There is also a night time setting. There are a lot of directions provided but there are so many steps involving pressing different buttons one or twice or holding a button down for 3 seconds that I cannot recall my choices fast enough to get to the next step before "programming mode" turns off.

This SEAOURA aquarium light is easy to set up and works really well. The 24/7 timer feature is fantastic—I no longer have to remember to turn the lights on and off every day. The light itself is bright, clear, and makes the tank look beautiful. A reliable, convenient upgrade for any aquarium.

This light works perfectly on my 5 gallon aquarium. The different colors are very pretty and it is easy to control.

I got the 30" for a 20 gallon long. It gets very bright. It's light and slim. It makes the tank look great and the plants are doing great too. The timer function works well and it's pretty easy to set it and forget it. The display is great to have. My only small gripe is I wish the display would dim or shut off when you aren't using it. This is a great light for a planted tank.

This light is great. The colors in the aquarium are crisp and vibrant. We also love the 24/7 timer, and that it handles turning on/off the light for us and mimics a daily lighting cycle.

One of best budget light is used, definitely worth the price, to set up 24/7 light mode watch the YouTube video...very nice light

Ware kam gut verpackt an, Lieferung war flott, Der Artikel wie beschrieben. Die Bedienung bzw. die Zeiten lassen sich relativ einfach bewerkstelligen. Lampe arbeitet tadellos und ist um einiges heller als die alte Lampe. Das Becken kommt dadurch sehr gut zur Geltung, die Pflanzen wachsen durch das Rotlicht auch schneller. Die Lichtwechsel sind angenehm smooth. Die Längenverstellung funktioniert ebenfalls easy. Mal sehen wie lange die Lampe hält, aber selbst wenn sie nur 3 Jahre hält, bin ich schon zufrieden.

Finalmente la lampada per acquario che cercavo. Dopo Mille ricerche ho trovato una lampada con una piccola batteria integrata in modo che anche se dovesse saltare la corrente elettrica mantiene la sua memoria. Anche l'opzione di poter impostare a piacimento le cinque fasi dall'alba al tramonto è perfetta. Consigliatissima!

Cinco estrelas!

Muy buena luz. Me gusto mucho y compre dos por que el precio calidad me pareció atractivo. No te arrepentirás.
