Product Overview

The GLOWRIUM Aquarium Light is an advanced LED lighting system designed for freshwater fish tanks. It features a full spectrum of light, including ultra-bright white, blue, and red LEDs, to promote healthy aquatic plant growth and enhance the vibrant coloration of fish. The light includes a built-in timer and adjustable brightness settings, offering both daylight and moonlight modes for a natural day-night cycle simulation.

Key Features:

  • Full-Spectrum Lighting: Features 5000K white, 460nm blue, and 660nm red LEDs for optimal plant growth and fish coloration with a CRI of over 90.
  • Day/Night Modes: Easily switch between bright daylight (White, Red, Blue) and gentle moonlight (Blue) modes.
  • Timer and Memory Function: Offers 3 timer options (6H, 9H, 12H) to simulate sunrise and sunset. Retains settings after power outages.
  • All-in-One Body with Extendable Bracket: Durable aluminum body for efficient heat dissipation and stability. Adjustable brackets fit 30-inch to 35-inch aquariums.

4. Timer Function:

  • Press the TIMER button (clock symbol) to cycle through the preset timer options: 6 hours, 9 hours, or 12 hours.
  • Once a timer is set, the light will automatically follow a 24-hour day-night cycle, simulating sunrise and sunset.
  • To exit the automatic mode, press and hold the TIMER button until the blue indicator light turns off.
  • The power outage memory function ensures your timer settings are retained even after a power interruption.

Important Note on Timer Function (Newer Models):

For models with batch number 202404 and later, the timer function has been upgraded. Once the timer is completed, the light will automatically enter the cycle mode as set. When the aquarium light is in blue light mode, you can use the MODE button to switch between white and blue light modes. The system will record the newly set light mode and operate accordingly in the subsequent cycle mode.

Maintenance

The GLOWRIUM Aquarium Light is designed for low maintenance. Regular cleaning of the light surface will ensure optimal light output and longevity.

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED surface and the light bar with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or water spots. Ensure the light is unplugged before cleaning.
  • Heat Dissipation: The aluminum body is designed for efficient heat dissipation. Ensure the light is not covered or obstructed to allow for proper airflow.
