Operating Instructions

The Gamalta Aquarium Light offers both a pre-programmed 24/7 natural mode and a customizable mode.

• 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM: White light (simulating daylight)
• 6:00 PM - 10:50 PM: Blue light (simulating moonlight)
• Rest of the day: Off

To set the first running time, use the 24H button in conjunction with the 6 time point indicators on the controller. By default, it turns on at 6 o'clock. The entire time period can be advanced or delayed from this initial setting.
