"I love this light."

‍♂️Rgbw, Multiple settings, 3 stage timer. Overall, this appears to be a good light for the price. I just set them up today so I will adjust and update this review accordingly. I really wanted to like this light, but ultimately it didn't work for me. PAR readings were taken with an apogee par meter. It's not too bright and not too dim. Overall, this appears to be a good light for the price.

"No dimmer or timer."

We've got wide 13 gallon tank that is about 23 inches long. All my plants doubled in size in a month as shown in the pictures. Suprized how well it lights up this tank. I contacted NICREW they were great with customer service. I really wanted to like this light, but ultimately it didn't work for me. It does give a nice look though if that's what you're going for.

"All good now!"

I like that it has a timer built into the control module too. Wanted to return it but decided to keep it for my quarantine tank. It's been a few years since I left this review and thought I'd leave an update. The timer works well, and I love that there are different intervals. For the price you will not find a better light on the market. The entire process took only a few days. The adjustable brightness levels are awesome too.

"5 betta tank."

The built-in schedule will restrict you which is super annoying. But now was an opportunity to upgrade. That sounded like a good plan to me so I agreed it was worth the risk. All my plants doubled in size in a month as shown in the pictures. This will also give you the blue lights while the whites are on throughout the day. It's been a few years since I left this review and thought I'd leave an update. Just got this light today, and WOW!

"I love it."

It's a simple design, easy and intuitive to set up, adjustable and fits great. I initially planned to put this light on a 10 gallon with some javaferns and moss. It's not too bright and not too dim. So if you set it to white only, it will default to ALL lights on. All my plants doubled in size in a month as shown in the pictures. I got my light today couldn't wait to put it on my blackwater tank. Compared to the original Classic, the Plus model is a very nice upgrade.

"That is the best."

The timer works well, and I love that there are different intervals. The adjustable brightness levels are awesome too. So if you set it to white only, it will default to ALL lights on. It's so bright, I was concerned that I would bleach the corals at the 1 setting. No bad algae, Corals show great expansion, nice growth, and good coloration. I thought they were fairly easy to set up. I think the blue lights are meant to be an evening light.

"I would recommend buying!"

If you're considering using the LED stick-on lights to upgrade- don't bother. I changed my review and contacted Hygger. Will purchase from them again in the future, highly recommended. I actually thought the tank had constant algae blooms before I got this light. For the price these lights are incredible. Best of all you see the true color of your plants and fish. The timers are exactly what I needed to create sunrise and sunset effect.

"5 inch units."

That sounded like a good plan to me so I agreed it was worth the risk. I have the tank set up as a riverine system, but fairly well planted. I contacted NICREW they were great with customer service. Most lights make it still so dark you can't see. Even the torch, frogspawn and brain at the bottom of the tank is doing well. For the price range of this light that is truly outstanding customer service. Cycling through brightness levels is awkward as well.

"BUYER BE WARE."

It's been about a month since the new LED light came in. The timer mode utilized seems like the only timer mode I wouldn't really ever want. My only concern is that the lowest setting is very bright. Overall, this LED light gives new fish tank owners the best bang for the buck. Overall a good competitor to Nicrew. For the price range of this light that is truly outstanding customer service. I added a moon light separately and all is good.
