1. Introduction
The hygger 55W High PAR LED Aquarium Light is designed to provide optimal lighting for aquascaped planted tanks and paludariums. Equipped with COB (Chips on Board) LEDs, this light delivers a full spectrum of wavelengths (400nm to 700nm) essential for stimulating plant growth at every stage, from seedling to bloom. It also enhances the natural colors of fish and plants and promotes the pearling effect in planted aquariums.
The pendant light design creates a stunning shimmer effect in the water, mimicking natural sunlight. Its hemispherical lens ensures deep light penetration up to 2 feet. The UFO-shaped grooved aluminum shell is engineered for efficient heat transfer and provides protection against water intrusion and humidity. A built-in quiet cooling fan further aids in heat dissipation, contributing to a low light decay rate and extended product lifespan.
This aquarium light features adjustable brightness with five distinct settings (100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%), allowing users to customize light intensity. It is also compatible with external timers or smart plugs (not included) for automated daily operation.
The integrated premium aluminum alloy stand offers versatile positioning. You can adjust the light's height from 0.5 to 16.5 inches above the aquarium and move it front-to-back within a range of 10.4 to 13.6 inches. The ultra-wide clip-on base securely fits both rimmed and rimless tanks up to 1.8 inches (45mm) in thickness.
