5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AQQA LED Aquarium Light, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: The aluminum alloy shell is easy to clean. Gently wipe the light fixture with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or water spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Water Immersion: The light is IP68 waterproof, meaning it can be directly soaked in water for use. However, ensure the power adapter and controller remain dry and are not submerged.
  • Heat Dissipation: The widened and thickened aluminum shell is designed for fast heat dissipation. Ensure the light is not covered or obstructed to allow for proper airflow.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your AQQA LED Aquarium Light, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

    - Check if the power adapter is securely connected to both the light fixture and the electrical outlet.
    - Ensure the electrical outlet is functioning correctly by testing it with another device.
    - Verify that the ON/OFF button on the controller has been pressed.
  • Light is dim or flickering:
    - Check the brightness setting in DIY mode. Increase the brightness level if necessary.
    - Ensure the power adapter is providing stable power.
    - If in 24/7 mode, the light intensity changes throughout the day as part of the simulation.
  • Timer function not working:
    - Make sure the timer duration (6H/10H/12H) is correctly selected on the controller.
    - The timer starts from the moment it is set. If you unplug the light, the timer will reset.
  • Colors are not changing:
    - In DIY mode, press the ON/OFF & Lighting Options button quickly twice to cycle through colors or enter auto color cycle mode.
    - Ensure you are not in 24/7 mode, as color customization is limited in this mode.
