4. Product Features

  • High-Quality LED Chips: Features 5 rows of high-brightness LED chips, providing approximately 10% more chips than comparable lights for brighter, more uniform illumination. Full-spectrum design (white + RGB) supports healthy fish and aquatic plant growth.
  • Timer Function & Memory: Built-in timer with 5, 10, or 12-hour settings for automatic daily on/off cycles. A memory function restores previous settings after a power outage.
  • 3 Lighting Modes & 10-Level Brightness: Offers Full Spectrum, White Light, and Color Light modes. Each mode has 10 adjustable brightness levels (3% to 100%) for precise environmental control.
  • Extendable Stand & IP67 Waterproof: Adjustable stand design fits various aquarium widths. IP67 waterproof rating protects against water vapor and allows for temporary submersion (retrieve and dry within 30 minutes if submerged).
  • Lightweight & Eye-Friendly: Lightweight design minimizes stress on aquarium edges. Flicker-free illumination is gentle on the eyes during observation.

  2. Position the Light: Carefully place the light unit with attached brackets onto the edges of your aquarium. Ensure it is stable and centered over the tank.
