"I'll elaborate in a bit."

My only complaint is the missing seal. For the price you will not find a better light on the market. Will purchase from them again in the future, highly recommended. The second pic is my old Top Fin light for comparison. The timers are exactly what I needed to create sunrise and sunset effect. I purchased three of these for my 240 gallon reef tank and they work incredibly well. The daytime lights are MUCH brighter than the lights my Top Fin hood has built in.

"The color looks great."

Therefore you cannot use this fixture on a customer timer. When I added this light my plants where not looking well at all. I eventually saw the tracking slip and it was terrible. The Nicrew comes with 2 different brackets to make sure it fits your aquarium. It has multiple settings, dimmer and a TIMER! The timer works well, and I love that there are different intervals. The purple hue bugged me that much I returned it.

"Its awesome."

I can set it for 3-12 hours so helps save me sometime before work in the morning. PAR readings were taken with an apogee par meter. Its sold in different lengths and worked great for this light. Has all the functions I need and want, and I am happy with this purchase. I have a very big 55 gallon corner tank that had a big hood on the top. But I will stick with the Nicrew classic LED PLUS as it also has full spectrum. I may purchase this if I decide to start a frag tank.

"I'd recommend it."

I would highly recommend this light for anyone looking. Like most led strips, this is low profile and thin. So I contacted customer service and asked them to send me a new transformer. Wanted to return it but decided to keep it for my quarantine tank. For the price these lights are incredible. Has all the functions I need and want, and I am happy with this purchase. It's so bright, I was concerned that I would bleach the corals at the 1 setting.

"IT IS SUPER BRIGHT!"

This is the second Nicrew light I have purchased for my aquariums. I bought the smaller one without realizing it. It's the best bang for your buck for a minimal reef light. Just got this light today, and WOW! The person I sold them to had one start smoking and burnt out the white channel. The Nicrew comes with 2 different brackets to make sure it fits your aquarium. But now was an opportunity to upgrade.

The person I sold them to had one start smoking and burnt out the white channel. This light is amazing, especially for the price. I thought they were fairly easy to set up. My standard 10 gallon tank's hood finally crapped out on me. But I will stick with the Nicrew classic LED PLUS as it also has full spectrum. I've had other Nicrew lights on other tanks and they have all performed well for me. Both are quality lights, well built with excellent output.

"Then it'll be 10 stars."

I purchased 2 of these lights for my 90 gal reef tank. My only concern is that the lowest setting is very bright. It does give a nice look though if that's what you're going for. The daytime lights are MUCH brighter than the lights my Top Fin hood has built in. The remote that comes with the light leaves a lot to be desired. I've had these lights for three weeks and so far they are AWESOME. The adjustable brightness levels are awesome too.

"I love it."

They truly stand behind their products for the full 1 year warranty. It's a simple design, easy and intuitive to set up, adjustable and fits great. This light does a great job and grows plants in a rapid rate. You'll have to DIY it, and even then it might not look great. I just put half inch molding around the lights so they don't move. It's not too bright and not too dim. Like most led strips, this is low profile and thin.

This light does a great job and grows plants in a rapid rate. Check out the photos on this 20 gallon grow out tank. It's not an issue now that I understand it, but I thought it was broken at first.

For the price range of this light that is truly outstanding customer service. My plants have been pearling by late evening since installing the light. All my plants doubled in size in a month as shown in the pictures. So if you set it to white only, it will default to ALL lights on.
