Controlled by Bluetooth APP, the 028 light is not needed to connect to an external controller or Wi-Fi network. In this article, we will briefly introduce the light and tell you guys how to program it more easily.

Features of the Hygger 028 Bluetooth light

1. Convenient to operate

The 028 light can be controlled by a Bluetooth APP, which means it doesn’t need to connect to an external controller or Wi-Fi network. Meanwhile, there are also four buttons on the lamp, including power, scene, up, and down buttons. The four buttons enable you to operate the light when the mobile phone is not with you.

  • Power button: turn on or off the light
  • Scene button: Adjust different scenes, including sunlight scene, moonlight scene, fish light scene, and ocean blue light scene
  • Up and down buttons: Adjust the brightness levels. Ten levels are available, from 10%-100%.

2. High-quality 5054 LED & 300+ colors

The Bluetooth light possesses high-quality 5054 RGB LED lamp beads, which can create a charming atmosphere in your aquariums. On the other hand, free dimming of RGB three primary colors provides 300+ colors to choose from. Also, you can adjust the brightness (0%-100%) and color temperature (3000-6700K). Besides, the color rendering index is up to 95. It is close to natural light. In the meantime, the LED lamp is flicker-free and has soft light, then it will not cause injury to your eyes and fish.

3. Power-off memory function & waterproof

With a power-off memory function, the light can restore the previous scene within one hour. For another thing, the fully sealed process protects the device from humidity and water interference, thus, you do not need to worry about splashing or accidentally falling into the water.

4. Fast heat dissipation and extendable metal brackets

The light is made of an aluminum alloy metal shell, which makes the 028 light fast heat dissipation. Furthermore, the light fits different aquarium sizes, because it has extendable and adjustable metal brackets.

Reminder

Until now, the 028 Bluetooth light is suitable for freshwater, planted, and saltwater tanks. Coral tanks are excluded, as the blue light is weak for corals now, but we can look forward to the new light upgrade to enhance blue lighting for coral development.

For better use of the 028 aquarium light, here are some tips for you.

  • When connecting the 028 light with the “TUYA” APP for the first time, you should turn on the Bluetooth and allow “Nearby Devices” permission.
  • Please keep the firmware version of the light up to date.

  1. My new hygger smart light isn’t working with operating modes. I’ve set it numerous times. Last night at sunset the light went dark. No light output. Ten minutes late it’s was back on at 100٪. I’m having to manually turn the light off and on defeating the purpose behind this device. Please advise.

  2. I just setup my new HG028 and so far I love the light output quality however the scene sunrise/sunset in the app does not seem to be doing anything to cycle the light on/off or slow on and slow off. It simply stays on full brightness day and night.

    1. Hi Topher,
      Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.
      hygger customer service will reach you out to solve the issue.
      Please check the mailbox lately.

      Thanks

  3. Any plans to update the app? It has some short comings like the moonlight mode used in the sun rise/set is wayyyyy to bright and you can not specify a scene for the moon rise/set part. You have the app so close to being really good. Hope you don’t abandon it.

    1. Hi Snorkel,
      Thanks for your good suggestion. hygger will update the app in schedule.
